The NJ Senate may take up A2270/S382, the Physician Assisted Suicide bill on Thursday, January 7 or Monday, January 11, 2016. These are the last days of the Lame Duck Legislative Session. At this time, we are asking you do the following:
1. Call and email your State Senator and urge him/her to vote No on A2270/S382. Please do this even if you have contacted them previously. Please be sure to both email and call.
