Dear INFOLINK members,

We need to put all of our efforts into advocating for the New Jersey
Knowledge Initiative now.  

Take as many of the following steps as you can:

(1)    Call the Governor's Office (609)292-6000 and tell them you are
calling in support of reinstating $1 million to the New Jersey Knowledge
Initiative.  That $1 million reflects a 33% cut in the program allocation!
Tell your customers to call as well and be sure to make the phone number
accessible to them.

(2)    Write letters to Governor Corzine emphasizing the importance of the
NJKI program, its value to your business customers, and that the $1 million
cut in funding must be reinstated. Stress the importance of the funded
resources to your population.  

(3)    Send email advocating for NJKI at the following Web site:
http://www.state.nj.us/governor/govmail.html. Select the topic: "Commerce"
and title the email "Support NJKI"

Everything that you need in terms of talking points and contact information
is available right on the NJKI website.

<http://www.njki.org/YOUR%20ADVOCACY%20COUNTS%209.07.doc> KEEP NJKI GOING
AFTER 2/28/08
VOICE YOUR SUPPORT FOR NJKI NOW!

Please make sure that you notify Kathleen Peiffer (email:
kpeiffer@njstatelib.org, voice: 609-278-2640, x152), Karen Price (email:
kprice@njstatelib.org, voice: 609-278-2640 x154), or Paula Vitakis (email:
pvitakis@njstatelib.org, voice: 609-278-2640, x169) at the NJ State Library
to provide copies of letters, notices of phone calls and emails as it is
important to track all advocacy activities.

I can speak personally to the ease of acting on #1 and #3. Thank you for
taking individual responsibility to get involved.
