This Bill Also applies to New Jersey Right to Life and other pro-life and pro-2nd Amendment organizations.

Urgent - Take Action to oppose A2595/S2076 Now! Bill will restrict activities of certain non profit organizations.

Dear Friends of NJRTL:

Please Act Immediately!

Bill A2595 is scheduled for a vote in the Assembly Judiciary Committee in Trenton on Monday morning, June 14^th.

The bill is sponsored by the Chair of the Assembly Judiciary Committee, Assemblywoman Linda Greenstein. A2595 is very far reaching and will restrict the activities of issue advocacy organizations like New Jersey Right to Life. This past January, in the landmark decision by the U. S. Supreme Court, Citizens United v FEC, the Court held that corporations, for profit, not for profit and unions could engage in electioneering communications and that such activities cannot be limited under the First Amendment.

Now, legislators in Trenton, want to impose onerous and burdensome disclosure requirements and restrictions on non-profit organizations which could have a chilling effect on our advocacy efforts. The bill is on the fast track. The Senate Version is S2076.

Please do the following:

1. Call and email members of the Assembly Judiciary Committee as soon as possible and urge them to vote No on A2595. See below for contact information of members of the Judiciary Committee.

2. Please contact your two Assembly Members and State Senator who represent you in Trenton and urge them to Vote No on A2595/S2076.

Please act NOW!

Thank you.

It might even violate New Jersey's Constitution
