Overview
Advocacy Day was a great success with hundreds of visits to legislators and
even more e-mail messages from across the state. Every legislator received a copy
of our materials, so if you didn't get a chance to participate, it's not too late
to review the information below and send in your message in support of the Agenda.
Be sure to include a personal point of view on the legislation of most concern
to you.

Agenda." Get your copy here in the form most convenient:
