[RED DEMOCRATICA] Coments. :NJ: Logramos concretar el primer paso, In-State Tuition Bill.

Estimados compatriotas y latinos en general: Reciban mi respetuoso y cordial saludo. Les envio este correo, aun emocionado, despues de que lograramos concretar el primer paso hacia la aprobacion del proyecto de ley In-State Tuition Bill (S1036/A990). Estuvimos desde las 9:00 AM en Trenton y la espera no fue en vano. Ayer, el Comite de Apropiaciones de la Asamblea de Nueva Jersey le paso el proyecto al pleno de la Asamblea  para que sea debatido en los proximos dias. Un comite del Senado lo va a revisar y debatir el proximo Jueves 7 de Enero.  Este comite de la Asamblea voto 7 a favor y 4 en contra, despues de las exposiciones de algunos menores que estuvieron presentes en la sala estatal y que le fueron la nota emotiva y real del dia. Despues participarian algunos conocidos nuestros como Shai Goldstein de NJIPN, Martin Perez de LLANJ y Cid Wilson de Bergen Community College, entre otros, quienes expusieron sus posiciones a favor del proyecto. Todo esto se llevo a cabo en el cuarto piso del State House a unos pasos de la oficina de nuestro orgullo latino y chairwoman del comite Nellie Pou quien dirijio el debate. Ahi nos reunimos lideres y activistas sociales del estado entre los que puedo contar al amigo Manuel Segura (Concejal de Trenton), Diana Mejia de American Friends, Jose Luis Garcia de Jornaleros Unidos de Passaic, representantes de los jornaleros de Freehold, entre otros; casi 150 y activistas. Mas adelante copio, para Ustedes, el mensaje que el NJIPN envio a mi correo (Soy miembro del New Jersey Immigration Policy Network y los invito a hacerses miembros). Gracias por leerme. Humildemente, David Toledo, MA Activista Social Independiente   January 5, 2010   From: Marlene Lao-Collins   Re: FULL Senate Scheduled to vote on In-State this THURSDAY 2 PM   Young children giving testimony to the Assembly Budget Committee Monday January 4th, 2010 The pictures are among the most powerful images. Please send all that you have to NSBandukda@njipn.org     CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE who worked extremely hard on behalf of NEW JERSEY'S children during the past 8 years to enact an in-state tuition bill! During the next week and a half, and in particular this Thursday January 7th, 2010, we will need everyone to increase their level of activity and commitment.   Please note that at 1 PM today, January 4th, there seems to be no support for the bill from ANY Republicans! We have very little time left and we do not want to dissipate our energy. for those of you who actually live in Bill Boroni (14th) district, we are asking you to do whatever you can to get Bill Baroni to change his mind. On the Democratic side, we underscore the importance of NOT contacting Shirley Turner for any reason.   We DO urge you to contact every Democratic senator and urge you to support for S1036 and S1933. As of this time we have no information regarding any listing on the Assembly side.   WE URGE EVERYONE WHO RECEIVED THIS EMAIL TO COME TO TRENTON ON THURSDAY JANUARY 7TH, 2010 FROM APPROXIMATELY 11 AM-5 PM.   ALSO PLEASE NOTE THERE WILL BE A CONFERENCE CALL TOMORROW 10:00 JANUARY 6TH, 2010 (712) 432-0075 Pin: 319350     PLEASE distribute this email as widely as possible.   On Monday, we had 150+ attend, but this Thursday we need 200+! Keep the Momentum. We are so close to both victory and disappointment. The only way we can win is through your phone calls, faxes, emails and physical presence this Thursday!   We will email you further update regarding the RALLY ROOM tomorrow. Please monitor your emails carefully.   If we win, it will be the most important victory New Jersey's history to date! Their hearts reach out to you!     Please also tune into Channel 9 NEWS tonight (Shai was interviewed this afternoon).
