Project: 1200 is a grassroots movement that uses social activism, creativity, and policy to take a stand against Big Tobacco - an industry that kills 1,200 people every day in the United States and 5 million people worldwide every year.

EMERGENCY!!!

Leave it to senate to throw a curve ball the last few days of the session! AH!

So, the senate basically cleared the agenda of all the bills, and pushed them back into the Rules committee (you know, the place where bills go to die!). So its up to us to write to the committee and URGE them to pass HB 82 and HB 71 back onto the senate floor to be voted on! It can be an email as simple as the last sentence.

Anyway, here's the emails (copy and paste to BCC):

rromero@utahsenate.org, dcbuttars@utahsenate.org, mmadsen@utahsenate.org, mdayton@utahsenate.org, cbramble@utahsenate.org, pknudson@utahsenate.org,
gdavis@utahsenate.org

SHORT EXAMPLE:

Subject: pass HB 82 and HB 71 to floor

Body:
Senator,

Please pass HB 82 (smoking in cars with children) and HB 71 (nicotine product restrictions) onto the senate floor to be voted on! These bills will prevent youth from exposure to the deadly and addictive tobacco products. This is vital for the health and well being of Utah citizens to progress.


Ready, Set, GO!
