ALEC in New Jersey

[rusty charly]

With every passing day we are seeing more ALEC bills being entered into New Jersey legislature. It becomes more apparent during the lame duck session after the November elections, Sweeney and Oliver will bring these bills to the floor for a vote.

Here are a few bills that will cause further deterioration to the rights of NJ residents and inflict further financial burdens:

A2810 / S1872 : "Opportunity Scholarship Act"; establishes Back Door School Vouchers. http://www.saveourschoolsnj.org/vouchers/

A3766 / S2664: “Market Competition and Choice Act”, sponsored by Senate President Steve Sweeney. This anti-consumer bill will wipe out important consumer protections against discrimination in rates, ensure billing errors are corrected, guarantee credits for outages, provide adequate service quality and ensure that everyone who wants a basic, no frills phone line can afford to have one. http://njcitizenaction.org/news/telco033.html

A4223:"New Jersey Right to Work Act"; prohibits payroll deduction of union dues from wages or salaries of public employees. http://www.njaflcio.org/pages/news/418

To stop these bills from seeing the light of day during the lame duck session we must remove Sweeney and Oliver from their leadership positions. Please Sign Petition:

1. ALEC in NJ

Hello,

There are plans for a national bus tour with the sole purpose of educating people about ALEC.

My question to you is whether or not you would be interested in volunteering your time to arrange publicity to get the message out for when the bus gets to NJ; and whether or not you have other people such as yourself who would also like to participate in assisting those who are involved get the word out and people educated? I would assume that there will be two or three stops in NJ before moving on to the next state.

Please PM me if you are interested.

Thank you.
