Corzine Joins Union Stunt Staged At New Jersey School
Senator Jon Corzine was joined yesterday by New Jersey Assemblymen Jack Conners and Herb Conaway in a political stunt out side a middle school in Edgewater Park. In a union organizing effort, the three Democrats helped launch the "Send Wal-Mart Back to School" campaign.
Send Wal-Mart Back to School is being staged across the country by an organization called Wake Up Wal-Mart and two teachers groups — the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association. Wake Up Wal-Mart is backed by the UFCW and is the brainchild of Paul Blank, “a refugee from Howard Dean's political campaign.”
As teachers enter their second month of vacation, they have plenty of time and money to give to the political campaigns of their Democrat backers and organizing other workers to add to the coffers of their causes.
In an effort to raise prices and cut jobs at Wal Mart, the campaign hopes to convince people to boycott the largest private employer in the United States. Assemblyman Conaway urged parents to boycott Wal-Mart when purchasing back-to-school supplies.
The Associated Press account did not offer an explanation for the teachers’ unions’ participation in the anit-Wal Mart campaign. However, Paul Blank said the Wake Up Wal-Mart coordinated events were meant to highlight Wal-Mart's "relentless pursuit of profit and total abandonment of moral values." This is in contrast to politicians, union bosses and teachers unions that do everything for “the children”.

Corzine made a statement at this rally, he said these prices are too low and if elected he would make sure items in dollar stores would be raised to at least $3.50.
He also does not like the 10 for 10$ sales at Acme, he said "you should never be able to get more than 5 for 10$". He said "why would you shop at Walmart, can't you just have your assistant go to Macy's for you".
