BUSY day tomorrow!

Tomorrow, February 11th, is gonna be BUSY! Let me tell you whats goin down:

8:00-10:00 a.m. -- House Health and Human Services (HHS) Committee meeting. During this meeting, the Tobacco Tax Revision bill (HB 196) will be discussed and (hopefully!) voted on! I would ask you to email the committee members before the meeting tomorrow morning, but I am getting to this post so late that I don't think it would be plausible. Stay tuned though! Your opportunity to take action is coming up! Like... right now! If you can, come to the meeting (or listen to it online here)! It will be a good one for sure, especially because this is such a controversial bill.

10:00-12:00 p.m. -- LOBBYING! YOU would be perfect for the job! Come on up! We have plenty of things to cover with our legislators! Contact me if you plan on coming up (contact info at the bottom of this page).

2:00-4:00 p.m. -- House Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Committee meeting. In this one, HB 82 (Protection of Children Riding in Motor Vehicles) will be discussed. This one is later in the day and could use an email before 2 p.m.! Please email the following addresses to urge them to pass this bill favorably to the floor:

bcferry@utah.gov
rgreenwood@utah.gov
coda@utah.gov
daagard@utah.gov
jseelig@utah.gov
dlitvack@utah.gov
lwiley@utah.gov
tbeck@utah.gov
cwimmer@utah.gov
blockhart@utah.gov

3:00-5:00 p.m. -- Lastly, we have some amazing youth that are going to be handing out some valentines to the legislators and could use some of your help (of course!). updates on this one to come later! All I can say, is that its gonna be GOOD!

I hope that will be good for now! Definitely email that second committee ASAP! And pretty much you can come on over to the capitol any time between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. and help out! Lets stick it to the man!
