CHAIR OF NEW JERSEY'S SENATE HEALTH COMMITTEE SCHEDULES A2270/S382 FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY.

Limits Testimony to "Invited" Guests‏

From Marie Tasy, Executive Director
New Jersey Right to Life

The Physician Assisted Suicide bill has been scheduled for a hearing for discussion purposes only on Monday, December 8th at 1 p.m. before the Senate Health Committee. The Chair of the Committee, Senator Vitale, issued a notice yesterday stating that only invited guests would be allowed to testify. This is an obvious effort to shut out the powerful voices of opposition on this issue.

At this time, we are asking you to do the following:

1. Even though the bill has been scheduled for discussion purposes only this time, you should call and email members of the Senate Health Committee. Tell them to please vote No on Bill A2270/S382. Their contact information is below.

2. Contact your own State Senator and urge them to vote No on A2270/S382. You can send a pre-written message to your Senator by going to the Action alert using this link.

3. Please plan to come down to the State House to be a presence on Monday, December 8. We will meet at 9:30 a.m. in the State House Cafeteria. We will have stickers on hand that identify our opposition to the bill.

Thank you for taking action to stop assisted suicide in NJ.
