Subject: [Tall-Corn] Have you done it?

 

Have your written to the Commerce Committee yet? It is important. Even if
you don't feel the need to have the security of accessible labels, many of
us do. We didn't have them in the past, and I personally have come to rely
on them. This is easy to do.

1.	Compose an Email in the program of your choice.
2.	Go to Helen's list.
3.	Click on the list for one of the Emails (going in order is a good
plan.
4.	Toward the bottom where it has additional information, the first
thing listed is the legislator's Email. Click on that.
5.	It may go to the message or to the subject line; make sure where
your cursor is pointing. If it isn't in the subject line, or even if it is
and you are using Windows, alt-U will take you to the subject line.
6.	In the subject line I wrote please support HF2033.
7.	Then I typed "Dear Rep. ____:
8.	After typing the salutation, I pasted my written message into the
message. If for some reason, such as David Young's being the chair of the
subcommittee, or if the legislator serves your district, then you might want
to modify your message a bit once it gets into the message so that it will
be relevant.

I know, sometimes it is a little intimidating to do this, but if you do it
enough and if you meet some of these people, you soon learn that whatever
the right thing is, they want to do it. They don't always know what it is. 

 

My message is a little long, but it doesn't have to be. Think why this bill
might be important. For me, it was particularly important because I was able
to care more efficiently for Bob in his last month of life.

In the Federation, one of the things we have to remember is that we have the
right to tell our legislators and our Congressional members what will help
us lead the lives we want. It is why we attend the Washington Seminar each
year, and it is why we spend time at the legislature. We have eight days
until the first funnel. If we don't get this bill out of committee and into
the House, it is dead for this year.

I do hope you will all consider writing letters to the committee members.

Cindy
