Virtual Lobby Day 2009
Greetings,
Our first ever Virtual Lobby Day was a huge success and
there is still time for YOU to TAKE
ACTION!
Planned Parenthood staff members
and volunteers delivered nearly 3,000 post cards
from supporters and talked with
legislators about the importance of making women’s health
and family planning services a priority in Michigan. [check out the video
here!]
Over 700
people from all over the
state sent e-mails and made
phone calls to legislators to drive the message
home. Join them by taking action TODAY!
We also need your friends,
family, classmates and co-workers to take
action!
If you get 5 of your friends to
join us by using the tell-a-friend link in the column to
the right you will receive our newest
t-shirt emblazonded with this design!
You can also purchase a t-shirt by contributing a minimum of
$10!
Our Virtual Lobby Day website is chock full of fun pictures
and videos from yesterday. Join us here to view photo and video petitions
and upload your own!
Take action today and together we will
ensure that all people in Michigan have access to the
reproductive health information and services they need and
deserve!
Send a letter to the following decision maker(s):
Your Representative (if you live in Michigan)
Below is the sample letter:
Subject: Support Prevention First!
Dear [decision maker name automatically inserted here],
I urge you to support the Prevention First package of bills (HB 5155 - HB 5165). The need to ensure and expand access to reproductive health information and services is very important to me. At a time when the Legislature has passed a Department of Community Health budget that decimates the family planning program, prevention efforts have never been more important. These prevention bills were recently voted out of the House Judiciary Committee and are expected to move to the House floor for debate later this fall. This package of legislation will protect women's health, reduce unintended pregnancies and help prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Thank you for your commitment to supporting healthy families through common sense prevention measures.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
