12/3/16 To-do List
There is no special way to attack this action list. If it seems overwhelming, just do the first two items to make it easier. If you have a little more time, do the third….and the fourth…. Or, choose items that speak to your heart. Some people cut and paste the list, print it off and take it with them so they can check items off while they are out and about during the day and just waiting or driving. Others click and do items as they work on their computer or phone. There is no right way to do this. Just do something!

Just put in your address and find all your elected officials! Give you phone numbers and contact pages! Bookmark this one! http://act.commoncause.org/site/PageServer?pagename=sunlight_advocacy_list_page
Using the link above….."Create new contacts in your phone for your senators and reps and also for senators and reps on important committees. That way you can call them and make a comment as quickly as you can sign a petition. Thereafter, every time you sign a petition, make a phone call about the issue to one or more legislators. If you want, time it. See if it takes any longer to make a call than to sign a petition. You might be surprised. Remember, when you call, all you have to do is say something like 'I'm calling to oppose appointment X' or 'I'm calling to support senator X's effort to _________'. In the time it takes you to install an app, you can create a few new contacts in your phone."
