Retirees, how will COLA cut affect YOU? Read this; you might be heard!

Adrian Smith to John Curry, March 17, 2011
Subject: HB 69 Testimony

Dear John,

Hi Friends, I am testifying before the House Committee considering HB 69 (STRS Pension Changes) on April 5. I get FIVE short minutes to make our point on the COLA reduction.

Please send this out to any RETIRED TEACHER you know to send me THEIR story...how will the COLA cut affect them?

My goal is ONE THOUSAND stories. I see this as sort of a 'Miracle on 34th Street' scene of convincing the court that there is a Santa Claus and all the mail that lands on the judge's desk.

This will leave the Reps with our stories...the more the better....I have five already in one day....please send them to smitties55@gmail.com ....one story is not enough, many are a lifetime...thanks (Kathie if you would put this on your blog it would be great; another teacher friend of mine has a Facebook page specifically for material like this also.....BG Ed Association is the page name for Facebookers)

Thanks
