I will be starting to post items on the upcoming Legislative Session. This came across my desk today from HEAL Utah:
———————————————
Yumm—pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, turkey and stuffing—Thanksgiving is right around the corner. We are all looking forward to this time of visiting with family and friends, eating good food, and giving thanks. But before you start carving the turkey, come learn how to help prevent your legislators from carving loopholes into our laws that protect public health and the environment.
Join us this Thursday, November 16th at 6:30 to learn how to organize an in-home meeting with your state legislators. An in-home meeting is a chance for you (and your neighbors) to start building a relationship with your state legislators, educate them on nuclear and toxic waste issues facing our state, and counter the influence of highly paid lobbyists working in the backhalls of the State Legislature. In-home meetings are a great way to start a dialogue that will help us earn victories come January.
The evening will consist of:
1) Our political forecast of the upcoming legislative session
2) A briefing on your legislators and their voting records
3) A How-To Guide on hosting or attending an in-home meeting
Remember—Thursday, November 16th from 6:30-8:30pm at HEAL Utah’s offices, 68 S Main St. 4th floor.
Please call (801) 355-5055 or email jessica@healutah.org if you’re interested.
