10,000 California students protest tuition increase at Capitol.

irtual Lobby Day Tuesday.

You have two lobby jobs today.

The first is to contact your state senator and state representative and remind them of the promise that the state made to meet their obligations to state employee pensions. No three-tier schemes. No shifting of the obligation to local school boards.

Remind them that early voting is going on right now. That there is a primary election in a few days. That you vote. And you will vote again in November.

You can email them here.

And then go here and sign the petition to Governor Quinn. Don’t cut the state’s obligation to retiree health insurance. Don’t double cost of insurance to retired teachers.

Send the petition to five people you know.


I consider myself as having a safe pension and health insurance in June when I retire.
