I am now really focusing on this race because Roy Cho (D. NJ-05) is taking advantage of Bill Maher's "Flip A District" campaign to take out Tea Party Congressman Scott Garrett (R. NJ-05) this year and he's calling on his supporters to use YouTube to help him do it:
You did it! According to our daily online count, viewers nationwide have made Scott Garrett and N.J.’s 5th Congressional District the most tweeted and Facebook posted target for Bill Maher’s “Worst Congressman in America” #FlipaDistrict feature!
While we need everyone to keep tweeting and FB posting to maintain our lead, there is now ANOTHER way to nominate Garrett/N.J. 5 for #FlipaDistrict. In recent weeks, Bill Maher has been asking his audience to film short YouTube videos telling him why their Congressman/CD deserves to be chosen.
Whether you’re a Steven Spielberg or just a Steve or Stephanie in front of your computer camera, please consider making a short video explaining why YOU think Scott Garrett is the worst Congressman and that N.J.’s 5th CD can be flipped. The content and style of your video are completely up to you: it can be funny, unique, data-based, set to music – whatever you think gets the point across best.
Two important guidelines to consider when you produce your video:
Be certain to include #FlipaDistrict and #NJ5 in the description box directly below your video after uploading; and
Make sure that your video is no more than a few minutes tops -- Bill asked that the videos to be short and sweet.
If you would like to see an example of a video, click the link below to see Jan Bidwell of Upper Saddle River – a 5th CD grassroots leader – telling Bill why he should come to N.J. 5 to expose Garrett. Jan’s video was even featured on last week’s Real Time program:

Finally, if you make a video, we would love to see it! So, please send us the link at info@roycho.com after you post it on YouTube.
Huge thanks again for your continuing efforts to defeat Scott Garrett. We can win this race! Please keep it up!
Sincerely,
Rob Esposito
Campaign Manager
Roy Cho for Congress
