Greetings,
AAUP-AFT Election 2009 Labor Walk
Volunteers
RSVP: Patrick Nowlan pnowlan@rutgersaaup.org
for Sun, Oct 25 between 1-4 PM in Highland Park, or
other opportunities to be a visible presence! Schedule at
bottom of this message.
On Sunday afternoon,
October 25, AAUP-AFT and other AFT Rutgers neighbors and
friends will walk door-to-door in Highland Park talking to
fellow union members about re-electing Jon Corzine as Governor
and electing Loretta Weinberg as the first Lt. Governor of
New Jersey.
Invest 2-3 hours on Sunday afternoon, October 25,
to help ensure that we New Jerseyans do not end
up fighting back against regressive policies rather
than moving forward for better education, health care, and
workplace rights.
Your visible
presence in this election is vital for continued access
to a Governor who listens. We have not always agreed
with Governor Corzine, but he respects our right to defend
our members. The Republican and Independent
candidates do not!
The Lt. Governor candidate, Senator Loretta Weinberg, has
been a fierce and feisty advocate on our behalf. For
example, she led the fight for a health impact study of
Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield's proposed conversion to
a for-profit health insurance company. The conversion
process will not go forward without this thorough
examination of its impact on health care for all
New Jerseyans, due to her leadership.
Here are the details in a nutshell
