Call to action

Everyone I just spoke with house representative Steve Johnson and he is asking for our support to contact ways and means to have the house bill moved out of committee before summer break. I have placed some contact information listed below along with some bullet points. We want to be polite but we also want to show that we need the bill moved before summer break to keep this in motion. Summer break will be both in July and August and we will lose valuable time. We need everyone’s support to start calling the people listed below and emailing as we would like this to move next week in committee. Many people have worked very hard on this bill and we have agreed language with the Secretary of State and they are now in support so no need to delay the bill. It’s a bipartisan bill.
