NJ Senate votes this Thursday on Resolution Asking for Overturn of Citizens United


by guest blogger Linda Baum

I received the following important correspondence about SR47 and thought you should know.  You can find your state senator at: http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/districts/municipalities.asp 

As always, thank you for your activism.

Breaking News:

SR47 (the NJ Senate resolution asking Congress to overturn Citizens United by Constitutional Amendment) is on the Senate agenda this Thursday, Oct. 4th, and will be put to a floor vote of the full Senate!

I will be sending each Senator PDF files of our coalition's 17,000 petitions-to-overturn.

This is what we have all been working towards.  Please contact your Senator TODAY and state that you are his/her constituent and that you want him/her to vote YES on SR47 on Thursday.  We want to flood representatives' voicemail and email.  Remind your Senator that this is a nonpartisan issue, that 80% of voters and 80% of small businesses want big money out of politics. Therefore, Senators of BOTH parties should vote YES and represent “We the People".

It has been your calls and emails that have made the difference - THANK YOU for everything!

Susannah Newman
Coordinator, NJ for the Overturn of Citizens United
