I recently had an opportunity to put the lobby training provided by the Women in the Halls to work by writing a letter to the representative in my district.The second part to writing the letter was making the delivery.To my own surprise I was able to do more than deliver I was able to speak with my representative along with another activist.We were both able to share our views and be listened to by Representative Pat Dooley on getting House Bill 37 (The Parent Protection Act) passed.
Her advice was more than what I expected to receive.She discussed how the bill affected everyone and that it wasn’t for us to seek help from one political party.Our next steps are to visit a few republicans and express why this bill is so important.My representative provided us with the motivation to continue to rally for the Parent Protection Act.
