Senator Weinberg was in Moorestown today to raise awareness for breast cancer preventative care. One of our supporters Lisa emailed the campaign the following about today’s event:
We are feeling so great about the event today that we are going to carry it forward. As you know, we have been having women- women phone banks every Wednesday evening. Beginning this week, we are going to have our Women’s phone banks include a “Mammos Matter” theme. We will be outfitting our local field office with pink tablecloths, pink pencils as well as eating pink food. Women are responding to the need to keep the NJ mandate for insurance companies to pay for our Mammograms. They are responding to the need to keep Jon Corzine as our governor.
As we walked Moorestown today we visited the “Soft Pretzel Factory” on Main Street. They have a large pink ribbon in their window, so it was a natural stop for us. Senator Weinberg was gracious and purchased us some delicious soft pretzels. During the month of October (Breast Cancer Awareness Month) ,The Soft Pretzel Factory is donating half of their proceeds to the Susan B. Koman Foundation. I stopped in and asked if they would make us some pretzels in the shape of breast- cancer awareness ribbons. They said of course. We plan to keep these in stock at our field office and serve “pink” mustard with them.
Check out these photos of the walk:
This election is too important to sit on the sidelines. Jon Corzine has been a leader on women’s health care issues in New Jersey and we cannot afford to move backwards. Christie would give insurance companies free reign to drop coverage for critical procedures like mammograms and the mandatory 48 hour hospital stay for new mothers.
