GET THE FACTS ON MEG WHITMAN
THE UNION BOSSES DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW.
• M e g W h i t m a n S u p p o r ts N u r s e s
Rose Ann DeMoro is executive director of the California
Nurses Association and a former Teamster organizer.
The truth is Meg Whitman values the important work nurses
do every day. Her husband, Griff, is a doctor, and s h e kn ows
th e vi tal ro le n u rse s p lay in maintaining the public’s health.
But DeMoro isn’t a nurse, she’s a political operative who
has turned the CNA into an arm of the Democrat Party.
• N ur s e- to- Pati ent Rati os
Meg Whitman strongly supports California’s nurse-to-patient
ratios. She is 1 0 0 % op p o s e d to any effort to weaken these
ratios.
100% of CNA Political Contributions to Democrats
• N u r s i n g S h o r ta g e
Under DeMoro, 100% of the $1.5 million the union has spent on politics in 2009–2010 has gone to Democrats and liberal causes.

$50,000 for a Party Bus...

CNA’s leaders may be having fun on the road, but does this help nursing?

She will take a portion of the savings achieved from her plan to
require work for welfare and invest the money in the UC and
CSU systems to train new nurses.

the glue that holds our
healthcare system
together. I oppose
changing our state’s
ratio law.”
