It looks like a postcard sent out by alarmists - STOP ILLEGAL GUNS NOW!!!
On the back of the postcard is the name and address of the person responsible for sending it out to more than 50,000 Jersey City residents: Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy, City Hall, 280 Grove St., Jersey City, NJ 07302.
As it turns out, the postcard unfolds into a letter from Healy asking recipients to fill out the accompanying card at the bottom with their name, address, telephone number, and e-mail, and send it back to City Hall.
Healy seeking support for the "One Gun A Month" Bill currently up for a vote in the state Senate.
It looks like it was sent out by an alarmist because it was sent out by an alarmist. And while I would have been inclined to change the hook line to IF YOU'RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT CLANK YOUR CHAINS!!!, there's one bit of vital information that "Authorized Journalist" Ricardo Kaulessar overlooked in all his professional reporterizing:
Who's paying for this expensive mailing? Frank Caso indicates it's the taxpayers.
How is that legal?
UPDATE: I just sent the reporter the following email. I'll of course advise if he responds.
I didn't get a clear sense from your story on who paid for the printing and mailing--I know you quoted Frank Caso as saying it was by the taxpayers, but is it legal to conduct political canvassing/promote issue adovcacy using tax money in New Jersey?
50,000 mailers would be expensive to design, print and mail--and it sounds from the story like there's a return mail option, although whether that is prepaid or not isn't stated.
Is there any other source of funding?
Don't you agree the public has a right to know, and the story without this information is incomplete?

What is an "illegal gun"? Since the Bill of Rights specifies that the government is forbidden to make any "laws" controlling any guns, it must be a gun that violates the laws of physics.
Jersey City is deep in the heart of NJ's "Axis of Corruption". As far as they're concerned, taxpayer money can be spent any damn way they want. By JC standards, this campaign is a rounding error.
NJ politicians is one of the reasons I left Jersey City. Jon CorzIne just signed into law, 'no death penalty'. He's a rotten Bilderberger, who would give away all rights of Americans.
