Our elected officials will reconvene March 4th with the session slated to end May 2nd. It will be in this time frame that they will vote on the proposed budget...... I spent part of this morning talking to a former State Aide regarding the situation regarding the Archives. Suggestions: 1. Contact as many officials as possible before March 4 by LETTER. 2. Write one to one letters regardless of how many different persons you contact. Form letters are not treated with the same consideration as those that are personal and "different". 3. If an elected official receives at least 15 such "unique letters by different persons" , they take the situation seriously and begin to have their aides look into the matter....... [1 letter = about 1000 like minded citizens and potential voters] 4. Calls also are good, especially as a follow-up to your letter. 5. If you worked in their campaign /voted for them....LET them know that also....... Bottom line, each of us concerned, need to write as many of our Senators AND Legislatures as quickly as possible.... we have less than a month.........And remember YOUR OPINION [VOTE] DOES COUNT...especially in numbers.....
