California Nurses, Teachers, Firefighters Announce ''Truth Squad'' Bus Tour Saturday to Correct the Record in Governor's Campaign; 9 am Kickoff in San Diego, Later Stops in Anaheim, Riverside, LA
The California Nurses Association, joined by the California Teachers Association and California Professional Firefighters, will hold a four-city Southern California "Truth Squad" bus tour Saturday. The nurses, teachers and firefighters will shadow Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's bus tour to correct the record in the governor's misleading campaign on behalf of his initiatives in the special election next Tuesday.
For RNs, the tour marks the one-year anniversary of Gov. Schwarzenegger's attack on nurses and patients, dating back to his November 4, 2004 emergency regulation to suspend major portions of the state's safe staffing law. While the emergency order has been overturned by the courts, Schwarzenegger continues to appeal the decision. Following that emergency regulation, Schwarzenegger stepped up his offensive against nurses, branding them "special interests" and extending his assault to teachers, firefighters and other Californians, culminating in the proposals on Nov. 8 ballot.
"The Truth Squad" will follow Schwarzenegger on the one of the final stages of the campaign to provide California voters the real story of the election and what is at stake for all Californians, said CNA today.
