During a recent address to students at
Princeton University, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie urged the students to be activists as citizens and government face new economic and other challenges. Here are some excerpts from the Princeton University web site:
Citing a recent New York Times Magazine article that referred to him as "The Disrupter," Christie urged attendees to consider how we "can all be disrupters," stressing that, "We won't always agree on what we choose to disrupt or how we choose to do it, but this is a moment in our history that calls for American activism again at home, to try and preserve our way of life for the next generations. That's why I'm disrupting New Jersey the way I am, and I think the early results show that we are making progress." . . .
"The New York Times has described him as 'one of the most intriguing political figures in America,' and Time has named him one of the 100 'most influential people in the world,'" [Princeton President Shirley] Tilghman said [of Christie]. "New Jerseyans have called him many things as well, depending on their point of view, but whether Governor Christie is perceived as a breath of fresh air or a gale force wind, the depth of his attachment to our state and his commitment to reforming its public sector is indisputable."
