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.
We will educate, advocate, and fight until Big Tobacco is brought to its knees.

ONE MORE DAY!

You have no idea how good that sounds... one more day...

ONE MORE DAY! TWO MORE BILLS! We need to make them regret they held these bills off for so long! Here is the game plan:

EMAIL: We want our message heard, even if they cant open the email, so keep it short and sweet in the subject - "vote YES on HB 82 (smoking in cars with children)" and "vote YES on HB 71 (nicotine product restrictions)"
The body of the email can be short as well. One or two lines urging for support!

email addresses HERE.

TEXT: Some senators are backed up on emails, so lets TEXT them! Since this is a new medium for advocacy, we only have 5 cell phone numbers, but the more they get, the more likely they will be vocal about it with their fellow senators, so our message will get to more than those 5!

Once again, keep it short and sweet: "Save lives. vote YES on HB 82 (smoking in cars with children)" or "Don't let Big Tobacco have more influence than Utah's health. vote YES on HB 71 (nicotine product restrictions)"

Here are the numbers:
801.556.4871 801.361.5802 801.710.0315
435.979.7077 435.559.8143

PHONE CALLS: When the senators aren't in their meeting, they are in their office. When they aren't in their office, their interns are. LET THEM HEAR IT!
Really, all you need to say is whats mentioned above. simply "Please support HB 82 and HB 71"

find your senator number HERE. find all the other senator's numbers HERE.

in case you want to add some facts: talking points for HB 82 HERE. HB 71 HERE. other talking points HERE.

Don't slow down until this is over! Tell your friends and family! write/text/call on the hour, every hour.

LASTLY, You need to know that YOU ARE AMAZING! This session has been incredible, and I applaud YOU for it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
