Pension Call Tuesday. Send your legislator a holiday card with a pension message.

by Fred Klonsky

So you’ve called your IEA Regional office and made a reservation on the bus to Springfield, January 3rd.
Or, you just can’t make it to Springfield (you better have a real good excuse), but you want to do something.
Here’s the plan.
Send the sponsors of of the Nekritz bill a holiday card.
Rep. Elaine Nekritz - Daniel Biss - David Harris - Chris Nybo, Kelly Burke, Kelly M. Cassidy, William Cunningham, Robyn Gabel, Ann Williams, Linda Chapa LaVia, William Davis, Sara Feigenholtz, Jehan A. Gordon, Greg Harris, Elizabeth Hernandez, Charles W. Krezwick, Karen May, Deborah Mell, Cynthia Soto,Michael J. Zalewski and Cory Foster
Something Christmassy, Hanukkahish. A touch of Kwanzaa. It could even be a card celebrating Jerry Seinfeld’sFestivus (the holiday for the rest of us).
Make sure your card has a message appropriate to the season. No not the holiday season!
The pension cutting season!!
Mail the two cards to these folks around the 23rd of December so they all arrive about the same time.
Share your message here, if you like.
Let’s make it a contest.
The best message will win.
I’m the judge. My decision will be final.
The winner will receive a copy of Diane Ravitch’s The Life and Death of the Great American School System.
