We need to turn the heat up on Gov. Chafee

We received an urgent message from Ocean State Action that Governor Chafee is considering a VETO of the "Henry Shelton Law," recently passed by the General Assembly - Bill H6293A, a tribute to one of Rhode Island's champions for social justice. This bill will provide emergency heat and utility help to the poor, elderly and disabled. Go to this earlier article for a description of the bill.

As soon as possible - TONIGHT - please call and leave a voicemail on the Governor's line - 222-2080 and (or) e-mail the Governor. .
