RTK.NET Mail 156268 May 22 22:38:42 1996 Plans are being made to gather in D.C., June 17-20, to make additional visits with legislators in an effort to continue the momentum in the quest for cosponsors and really try to get the bill moving. May and June are really key months. Those who can't get to D.C. for this event should make every effort to visit their legislators during the Memorial recess. If you don't feel you could do a lobbying visit on your own, call PAN to see if you can connect with someone else in your general area or ask your legislator to meet with lobbyists at the PAN forum--Part 2 on your behalf. Call PAN as soon as possible if you might be able to attend, need help scheduling appointments, or if you can help attendees schedule appointments with your legislators. In general, appointments should be scheduled on June 18 and June 19, if possible, but any time is much better than not making the appointment. Don't worry if this is all new to you, very few of us had any lobbying experience before getting involved with the Udall bill. Besides, if you come to D.C. June 17-20, it is very likely that some experienced folks will be happy to go with you. Sherri Cave [log in to unmask]
