ACTION ALERT

Educators make a difference at the Statehouse

Teachers and Legislative Action		You can make the difference Not many people ever contact their legislators, even though what happens at the Statehouse can have a major impact on their lives and our state’s future. Often teachers believe legislators are too busy or not interested in reading their constituent mail or answering phone calls. Many people also think that legislators don’t care what they think or question whether they can persuade a lawmaker on an important issue. These views couldn’t be further from the truth. In most cases, legislators want to hear from constituents, value their opinions much more than professional lobbyists, and rely heavily on advice from concerned and involved citizens. By getting involved in communicating with state lawmakers, individuals and groups of concerned teachers can have real clout at the Statehouse.
