Help Lobby for a Healthier Environment!
Light up the Legislative Session ~ Clean Energy & Rivers Lobby Day February 1, 2011. HEAL Utah needs YOU to help lobby for a healthier environment!
It’s often said that, in politics, sunlight is the best disinfectant for the backroom deals and undue influence that often accompany policy making. Now that we’re entering the legislative session (or what the most cynical among us refer to as “our winter of discontent”), HEAL Utah needs your help shining light on the political process and speaking up for a healthier and cleaner environment.
To this end, HEAL Utah and the Utah Rivers Council invite you to their annual Citizen Lobbyist Training, February 1st at the State Capitol from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm.
Senator Ross Romero, the new Senate Minority Leader, will be on hand to talk about how important it is for legislators to hear from constituents. He will also share with you the most effective ways you can be a successful lobbyist for the causes that matter most to you, from clean air to renewable energy to healthy rivers. In addition to hearing from Senator Romero, the training will include an insider's overview of the legislative process, as well as the tools, tips, and protocol of lobbying your legislators.
Now is a pivotal time to learn these skills because the Governor will soon release his Ten Year Energy Task Force Report, charting the course for Utah's energy development in the next decade.
While we don’t yet know what is contained in the report, we do know there will likely be some bad proposals that HEAL Utah will need your help fighting in the next six weeks, as well as some good policies that you can help push forward. The Citizen Lobbying Training will be an excellent opportunity to discuss the report’s conclusions and learn how to lobby for the good findings while preparing for the bad.
Join HEAL Utah and the Utah Rivers Council as they attempt to shed a little light on the process of legislative sausage making next Monday, February 1st.
