MARCH 19th PUBLIC MEETING GETS FAVOURABLE PRESS COVERAGE

The Rugby TUSC Public Meeting on Monday March 19th, 7.30pm, at the Rugby United Railway Club, Spring St received a boost on Thursday with an excellent article in the Rugby Advertiser.  Based accurately on the Media release sent in by Rugby TUSC Press officer Pete McLaren, the article was headlined "Left wing campaigners begin their fight for election", followed in large bold by 'Your opportunity to quiz cuts opponents'.  The article then outlined how it was a TUSC public Meeting with TUSC SC member Nick Wrack as the main speaker.  Pete McLaren was quoted as saying that the meeting would provide the opportunity to show there were alternatives to the cuts - homing in on a 5% wealth tax, nationalisation of the banks and financial institutions, and the collection of avoided or evaded tax.  The article finished with a complete list of of the Rugby TUSC prospective candidates, accurately.  There was even a highlighted box in blue with Pete's quote about how the debt problem could be resolved by a 5% wealth tax on the richest 10%.
