> How to Get a Gubernatorial Proclamation:
>
> Step 1: On behalf of your organization, contact your governor's office and
> ask to speak with the staff person that handles state proclamation 
> requests.
> They'll explain the procedure for requesting a state proclamation for your
> state. Each state handles such requests differently, so be flexible.
>
> Most offices will ask for a formal letter of request, including a copy of
> the proposed proclamation. Be sure to copy your state senator or 
> legislator
> on the letter. To ensure it is received on time, you may need to fax and
> e-mail the request letter due to heightened mail security.   Make sure to
> also include your contact information in the request.
>
> Step 2: Elicit support from friendly state legislators. Urge them to 
> contact
> the governor's office with their support for the proclamation.
>
> Step 3: If your governor agrees to sign the proclamation, ask for a public
> signing.
> If a public signing is granted, issue a press release, take photos and be
> sure to invite elected notables as well as the media. Be sure to 
> coordinate
> all press activities with the governor's press office. (I'd anticipate 
> we'd
> come in during this part, to the extent we do this).
>
> If you can't get a public signing, don't despair. Ask that the 
> proclamation
> be sent to your organization and unveil it with a local or state elected
> official at your own event.
>
> Step 4: Say "Thank You!" Be sure to send a letter of thanks to the 
> governor
> and any legislators who were supportive.
