New Jersey Republican Congressional Candidates Make Sabrin Promise

Jersey City, NJ – New Jersey conservative Republican leader Dr. Murray Sabrin, the Garden State’s strongest advocate of limited government and individual freedom and candidate for United States Senate, unveiled The Sabrin Promise this afternoon at a press conference in his campaign office at 2:30 p.m. alongside four Republican Congressional candidates who also signed The Sabrin Promise.

Dr. Murray Sabrin made the following promise, “I promise to resign from office if all combat troops are not removed from Iraq by September 2010.”

Sabrin announced this promise by stating, “Our brave men and women accomplished their mission and won the Iraq War by removing Saddam Hussein.  Americans continue to support our troops and approve going after the terrorists who attacked America on September 11th, however, Americans know we can not end another country’s Civil War.  The voters sent the politicians to Washington in 2006 to bring our troops home – these politicians have failed.  They should either do their job or step aside and that is exactly what we are promising today – if we don’t bring our combat troops home from Iraq by September 2010, I will resign from office and these Members of Congress will not run for re-election.  Every congressional and senatorial candidate who is running for office in November needs to make the Sabrin Promise.”

Below is The Sabrin Promise:
