Gov. Chris Christie



DES MOINES, Iowa — A pair of protesters angered over Gov. Chris Christie's veto of a controversial pig crate bill stormed the soap box stage in Iowa where the governor came to talk to voters.

The governor, visiting the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines on Saturday, was taking questions from voters when a man tried to ask him something about his veto of a of a bill that would have prohibited "the confinement, in an enclosure, of any sow during gestation in a manner that prevents the sow from turning around freely, lying down, standing up or fully extending the limbs of the animal."

The man and another person jumped on the stage and started unrolling a sign before police and a member of Christie's State Police security grabbed him and pulled them off stage.............

2. Hell yes! No other western country allows livestock to be abused in this way.

It's time we joined the rest of our friends in recognizing that the right to kill and eat animals for food doesn't excuse wanton and unnecessary cruelty.

4. Yes, the GOP sees no reason to hold back anymore. Since they won majority in 2010, they have

decided to put all of us 'in our place' and they don't consider us worthy to vote or protest anything they do. They've taken decision making on public affairs to private property and refuse to follow democratic process. They want church and corporate rule. If you aren't connected, rich or a faithful follower, you're out.
