Help Needed in Your State!

Visit our News page *** ACTION ALERT! *** HELP US WITH OUR STATE LEGISLATIVE INITIATIVES! by Lisa Piraneo, Director of Government Relations and Kelly Cook, National Field Director Do you know your local state legislator? If so, you could be extremely instrumental to our state legislative efforts—and successes! As state legislative sessions get underway across America, we are excited about the many opportunities we will have to make a difference and to protect our constitutional freedoms within individual states. Strategic preparations are underway for a variety of different initiatives in capitols across the country and we look forward to your continued assistance during the weeks and months ahead. As a first step, we are looking to identify those of our members who have an established relationship with a state legislator. As you can imagine, when a legislator receives information from a trusted friend or colleague it makes so much more of an impact than if he/she receives it from a stranger. Moving legislation is very much about personal relationships. It seems so simple, and it is—but it is also critical to success. It all starts with who you know! So our request from you today is this: If you already have an existing relationship with a state legislator, we need to hear from you! Please let us know by sending an e-mail to info@actforamerica.org. Please put “State Legislative Efforts” in the subject line. Also, as you can imagine, the probability of success for a particular state initiative depends in large part on the legislative and political environment of an individual state. Legislation that may pass easily in one location will not in another. Please know that we are committed to working with you to craft an individualized strategy on moving a legislative initiative that has the best chance of passage in your particular state—and there are several possibilities we have in mind—each of which addresses the threat radical Islam poses to our nation and to our constitutional freedoms. We anticipate many more legislative successes at the state level in 2013 and look forward to working together with each of you to achieve that goal. Again, thank you for all that you do. With your help, we ARE making a difference—in your state and across the nation. REMEMBER, YOUR VOICE COUNTS! IF EACH OF US DOES JUST A LITTLE, TOGETHER WE CAN ACCOMPLISH A LOT! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACT for America P.O.
