EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY!
Rep. Bigelow just introduced HB 444 that would gut TPCP programs. Because this bill is coming out so late, it won’t get the same attention, so we need to contact everyone up on Capitol Hill to let them know the serious harm this bill would cause.
If HB444 passes, Utah’s TPCP will have NO tobacco settlement (MSA) money dedicated to the programs (the programs that the money was initially supposed to go to!).
Contact ALL House and Senate legislators to tell them to vote against the bill (your House rep. especially) using this web site: http://www.healthpolicyproject.org/AdvocacyToolkit.html
go to “Legislator Contact Info—Perfect for Mail Merge!” and copy and paste the email addresses into the BCC line in your email.
When emailing your specific House legislator, include your home address so they know you're their constituent. Tell them your tobacco story.
Also be sure to contact Governor Huntsman via: http://governor.utah.gov/goca/form_governor.html
Even if you’ve already contacted these persons on the tax or TPCP funding, do it again. This time, reference this specific bill.
