Last year we collected over 50 Toys For Tots for needy kids, under the Bushies there are more and more needy every year, so please bring a new, unwrapped toy, it's for the kids!
 
It's also DFA 2007 year end wrap up! We'll be adding up our accomplishments this year, you don't realize how much difference you make until you see it the review (or up on a movie screen like in Freeheld)

Governor Urged to Take Action
 
Our friends at The Citizens' Campaign called on Governor Corzine to issue an executive order to close the loopholes in an otherwise strong State Pay-to-Play law.   These include banning large campaign contributions to Legislative Leadership PACs and Municipal Parties. 
 
What can you do? Contact Governor Corzine and urge him to close the loopholes immediately. Call the Governor at (609) 292-6000
And please forward this email to your friends. It's time the Governor hears from you.

Happy Thanksgiving All! :0)
