NJ activists needs your help. Join them for Occupy Trenton, Jan. 6th – Jan. 14th.
NJ legislators have until January 13th, the end of the legislative session, to bring legislation to a vote that will remove religious exemptions in NJ. If another state falls, even more states will be targeted for the Spring. We must all take a stand for medical rights!
In December, NJ Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney vowed to bring S2173 up again for a vote. Therefore, it is more important than ever to show up and let NJ legislators know what you think! Be sure to support Senators Lagana, Rice, Ruiz, Gopal and Testa for standing resolutely against the draconian legislation in December and encourage them to stand their ground now.
Senator Joseph Lagana (D), 201-576-9199, senlagana@njleg.org
Senator Ronald Rice (D), (973)-371-5665, senrice@njleg.org
Senator M. Teresa Ruiz (D), (973) 484-1000, SenRuiz@njleg.org
Senator Vin Gopal (D), 732-695-3371,sengopal@njleg.org
Senator Mike Testa (R), @senatortesta
If you are in a nearby state, please drive to NJ! Steadfast activists across the US should consider flying into Trenton.
RFK, Jr. will help to kickoff on January 6th:
Occupy Trenton will begin at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, January 6th with a “Jericho March” around the State House – 6 times around silently. On the 7th round, the crowd will chant to bring the walls down. The State House address is 125 W State St, Trenton, NJ 08608.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. will speak at noon in front of the State House during (or right after) the Jericho Walk. This will coincide with the Quorum Call.
More Key Dates: Jan. 9th and Jan. 13th
Please be on standby. Come and occupy! More details to come. Rallies are planned on the 9th and 13th but everything will depend on votes (or not) earlier in the week.
Here are the lyrics to the song featured in the video.
“Occupy Trenton! Won’t you please come to New Jersey?”
Half our kids have chronic illness,
and yet no one seems to care.
Won’t you please come to New Jersey?
To be seen.
In a land that’s known as freedom,
How can such a thing occur?
Won’t you please come to New Jersey?
Pharma’s puppets on a string.
We can change the world!
Re-awake the world!
Kids are dying … to get better.
Crooked Politicians grovel
at Merck’s beck and call.
Won’t you please come to New Jersey?
Take a ride.
If we let Trenton crumble,
They’ll be coming for us all.
Won’t you please come to New Jersey?
You can’t hide.
We can save the world!
Re-awake the world!
Kids are dying … if you believe in justice
They’re dying … and if you believe in freedom
They’re dying … let them all live their own lives
Dying… Pharma’s rules and regulations, who needs them?
Toss your toxins out the door!
Somehow people must be free,
Pharma’s mandates are insane.
Won’t you please come to New Jersey?
Show your face.
From the shores of California
To the northern woods of Maine,
Won’t you please come to New Jersey?
No one else can take your place.
We can save the world!
Re-awake the world!
Kids are dying … if you believe in justice
They’re dying … and if you believe in freedom
They’re dying … let them all live their own lives
Dying… Pharma’s rules and regulations, who needs them?
Toss your toxins out the door!
