RH Jones: Letter writing campaign

From RH Jones, July 24, 2009
Subject: 'Retirees with the Write Stuff'

To all retired educators:

AFSCME, the powerful union for public employees, has started a ‘Retirees with the Write Stuff’ writing campaign.

As not enough older AFSCME members are writing letters-to-the-editor, may I suggest that we too as Concerned Ohio Retired Educators (CORE), and those who may not be members, do as AFSCME has encouraged their members to do and send letters out to the news media editors. After all, we were educators and we definitely know how to write and instruct. I suspect we are not writing, or calling the news media enough, or our STRS would not be considering “take backs” that have never been done before in the long 89-yr. history of STRS OH -- It is disgraceful that any official would even consider this.

Educator ‘Retirees with the Write Stuff’: “Do the Write Stuff”. Write to your local newspaper’s editor.

That’s my opinion,

RHJones, a retired STRS OH teacher member & a proud CORE member
