El grupo que organizó el evento, un comité con acción de tendencia política Demócrata llamado Progressive Change Campaign Committee, creó un sitio web: ChristieResign.com donde dijeron que 13,000 personas han firmado una solicitud pidiendo la renuncia del gobernador republicano, si se llega a demostrar que el sabia del plan de cierre de carriles con anticipación.

There have not been any barriers to entry or limits imposed by competitors for any providers.”
