King, Wayne. "Few New Jerseyans Act on Gun Law", The New York Times, June 1, 1991. Accessed June 27, 2018. "The first day of the state law banning the possession of 'assault' firearms brought confusion and scant compliance from gun owners.... Assemblyman Patrick J. Roma, Republican of Paramus, turned in the firing mechanism of a .22-caliber rifle in Bergen County. By noon he was the only person to have done so."
King, Wayne. "In Redrawn District, Tone Is Bitter in Congress Race", The New York Times, October 8, 1992. Accessed June 27, 2018. "Patrick J. Roma, a Republican candidate for Congress, held a news conference at his headquarters here on Monday and did what he has done almost every day for the last four months: assail his opponent, Representative Robert G. Torricelli, as the epitome of the 'bloated, out-of-control, out-of-touch Congress.'... Assemblyman Roma, a former Palisades Park Borough Council president who is in his third term in the Legislature, is running as much against the Congress as an institution as against Mr. Torricelli, whom he calls "'the poster child for Congressional abuse.' Mr. Roma and his campaign staff routinely pass out checks made of rubber that are drawn on the 'Bouncy Savings & Loan' to focus attention on Mr. Torricelli's record with the House Bank -- 27 overdrafts totaling $11,608 over 39 months."
