Dear Dorothy,
Forget next year’s Presidential election*, in just 11 days there is an election right here in New Jersey that will have a big impact on women’s health care.
Last year, Governor Chris Christie eliminated a budget line for women’s health and as a result women are losing access to services. We need strong allies in the Legislature to stand up against these attacks. Help us elect pro-choice pro-women’s health candidates by making a contribution to the Planned Parenthood Action Committee of New Jersey.
In your district, we’ve endorsed Senator Nick Scutari, Assemblywoman Linda Stender and Assemblyman Jerry Green. Assemblywoman Stender has been the leader of this fight and we can always count on Senator Scutari and Assemblyman Green to join her in working to restore access to life-saving cancer screenings, birth control, breast health services, prevention and treatment of STDs, and health counseling and information.
Elections have consequences. This Governor vetoed three attempts to restore women’s health funding even after thousands of supporters like you petitioned his office in protest and newspapers across the state criticized his decision. Senator Scutari, Assemblyman Green and Assemblywoman Stender repeatedly stood up to these attacks and fought to restore funding for women's health.
Take a stand on November 8th and vote for candidates that support women’s health!
Sincerely,
Michele Jaker
**Well, don’t forget it. . . just remember that there’s also an election this year!
