At our October 2009 Presidents' Meeting, Carl McCoy was our guest and he discussed going to our legislators. So, in the month of November, we would like everyone to go to their legislators and present the above white paper. These are the issues the committee came up with that are the most important.

We would like you to contact your local legislators in each of your communities. You can find their numbers and contact information by calling your local library. There is also a statewide number that you can call and get any state information number. It is (850) 488-1234.
