New Jersey History Issues Convention and other calendar items

Advocacy Calendar

Camp Out at the Capital
Rally at the State House, Trenton
Wednesday, April 23, 2008
12:30 PM

Nine state parks and a number of state-owned historic sites will be closed or have limited access if the Governor's budget is not revised. Camping, fishing, swimming, kids programs, historic sites, and funding for cultural and historic organizations are threatened.

These budget cuts will make the state's finances worse because they will cut tourism revenue and sales tax receipts.

Show your State leaders you care.
Wear your outdoor gear or re-enactors garb.
Bring your own signs. Families welcome!
