Sabrin: Give me your rebate

Republican Senate candidate Murray Sabrin issued a plea to voters Tuesday to help revive the economy by contributing the "stimulus" money they are getting from the federal government to his campaign.

Sabrin, an economics professor at Ramapo College and a Fort Lee resident, said in a news release he would use the money to buy advertising, which would help local media companies. His release listed the stock price declines of three cable television companies that serve the state and the Gannett newspaper chain, which owns The Daily Record in Morris County and a half-dozen other New Jersey daily newspapers, including the Asbury Park Press.

"Gannett employs many New Jersey families and my campaign to legalize freedom will help those families with lower taxes, less government, more freedom and more liberty," Sabrin said. "I also recommend these media companies cover more of the freedom movement since it will increase their subscribers."
