[Tall-Corn] Final Push: Accessible Prescription Label Bill Next Steps

[Helen Mejia]

Hi All,,

Thank you to all of you who have already done this. We have just over one week left in the scheduled legislative session for this year, so now is crunch time for our bill. If you have not contacted at least the first three people on this list, please take a few minutes to do so. If you have already contacted them, now is the time to contact them again if it has been a couple weeks or more since you last did so. Please also ask people you know to take a moment to help out as well. The more people who reach out, the better chance we have that this bill will be brought up for a vote, which is all we need to get it passed this year.
Thanks!
Helen

1. Contact your Senator
Most importantly reach out to your specific Senator, say you are their constituent, and tell them that HF2585 is important to you and ask them to please support its passage this session.

2. Contact the Senate majority leader
This is the person who sets the calendar for what votes happen when. We want to say that HF2585 is important to us and ask him to please schedule a vote on this bill as soon as possible.
Majority Leader:	Mike Klimesh <https://www.legis.iowa.gov/legislators/legislator?ga=91&personID=30547>
Email:  
mike.klimesh at legis.iowa.gov <mailto:mike.klimesh at legis.iowa.gov>

3. Contact the bill’s floor manager
If you’ve already sent her an email thanking her, you do not need to email now. For everyone else, it’s helpful for her to hear from as many different people as possible. We want to thank her for her support of the bill and tell her that the bill is important to us.

We are contacting these other leaders to let them know that as Iowans this bill is important to us, since leaders in the Senate have influence.
