Approximately 800 Republicans gathered in Lakewood to greet Vice President Dick Cheney on Monday. The event raised nearly a half-million dollars for the Bush-Cheney ‘04 campaign.

The Vice President highlighted the accomplishments of the Bush Administration through its first three years.

“On issue after issue, from national security, to economic growth, to improving our public schools, President Bush has led the way in making progress for the American people,” Cheney said.

The Vice President also pointed out distinct contrasts between the Republican White House and the liberal Senator from Massachusetts running on the Democratic ticket.

“These are not times for leaders who shift with the political winds, saying one thing one day and another the next,” said Cheney.

He noted the Massachusetts Senator’s 350 votes for higher taxes and failure to support relief for military operations in Iraq.

In the end, Vice President Cheney thanked the crowd for the tremendous support the Administration has received from the people of New Jersey.

“We ran hard here in 2000. We’re going to run hard again here this year. And come November, we’re going to make New Jersey part of a nationwide victory for President George W. Bush,” concluded Cheney.
