Making our voices heard...
To fight back against Schwarzenegger's attacks on nurses and the well-being of California patients, we've taken our message to the people, broadcasting television and radio commercials, printing billboards and running newspaper ads. RNs, and our patients and allies from across the country, wrote letters, sent e-mails and made phone calls. Most importantly, RNs went to every fundraiser the Governor held to protest his corporate funding -- and warn the public about the corruption behind these events in their community.
Members of the media, please contact Shum Preston at 510-273-2276, speston@calnurses.org, or Chuck Idelson at 510-273-2246, cidelson@calnurses.org.
Here are samples of our media outreach -- and places where Governor Schwarzenegger's "special interest" attacks and favors to corporate funders have made the press all over the country:
