—PASSED SENATE JUDICIARY—CALL SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE

Dear Friends,

HB 250 passed Senate Judiciary committee—THANKI YOU!!  It now moves to Senate Finance Committee.  Remember that this bill  wouldprevent expansion of the lottery to Play at the Pump, Keno, Video Lottery Terminals (read shot machines), and Online lottery play.

We need to contact the members of the Senate Finance Committee and encourage them to pass this important bill.  Personal contacts are the best contact, followed by telephone contact, followed by fax, followed by email, in order of effectiveness. Most quality contacts are made by phone.  If a committee member is your senator, it is especially important to contact him/her, but all contacts are important.

When you call their office, usually you will usually have to leave a message with their secretary.  Be polite and patient.  You don’t have to sound like an expert on the bill.  Use your own words to say why you want the representative to support HB 250.  You might mention that you don’t like any expansion of the lottery, or playing it at the gas pump is a bad idea, or you are worried about video lottery games.  But mainly, just ask them to support HB 250.

 

The Senate Finance Committee will probably hear HB 250 within the next two days.  The list of committee members is below.  Click on their name and it will bring up their legislative website with their contact information.

Please pass this action alert on to your contact lists where appropriate.

It is important that you call or otherwise contact the legislators as soon as possible.
