Funding rescinded for Battleship New Jersey
#1

I received this from Tom Helvig. Below is letter he forwarded to me regarding the pulling of funds for the USS New Jersey. I am also including the two sample letters referred to and have left them in WORD format, in case you want to use/edit them:

 

Friends,

As you may have seen in the papers and on TV, the State of New Jersey has cut the funding for the Battleship New Jersey from $1.74 million each of the last 2 years, to $0. This cut puts us in a critical financial situation. We are asking you to help us by sending letters to the Governor requesting that our funding is restored.

Attached are two letters that we are asking that you send out to all your veteran contacts and to everyone you know asking the governor for support for the Battleship New Jersey. We are asking that you send the letter directly to the governor or via email at:

http://www.state.nj.us/governor/contact/

 

We also ask that you copy your State Legislators. To find their contact info, you can go to:

http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/members/roster.asp.

 

We have attached two sample letters, one for veterans and one for supporters. As always, Thank you for your support.

Jim
