5 How To Make A Difference All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. Edmund Burke The following are some helpful tips to keep in mind when you are trying to influence a legislator or legislation: DO Be specific and know your facts. Be honest, direct, positive, and brief. Attend hearings on specific bills and register and/or testify in support for or against the bills. Show your legislator how the legislation you support will help the district. Check the progress of the bills that interest you as often as possible. Treat your legislator as a friend and an intelligent citizen. Invite legislators to a local program in your area. Write a thank you letter after a visit or supportive action taken by your legislator. Write letters to the editor or opinion articles for your local newspaper. DON T Be argumentative or abrasive. Press for an answer from your legislator on the first visit. Interrupt them when they are obviously busy or in a hurry. CONTACTING YOUR ELECTED OFFICIAL Some effective means of communicating with your elected official include letters, phone calls, s, faxes, and personal visits. On the following pages you will find guidelines to help you make the most of these opportunities. How To Make A Difference 3

You can have your voice heard by clicking on the Action Alert link in our , or by visiting the Action Center at txvalues.org. 1. Visit txvalues.org 2. Under Take Action menu click Action Center 3. Click on the Action that you want to take 4. Enter your address and contact information 5. Send your message to your elected officials What if there are no active alerts?

The following pages include tips on: Writing Letters Phone Calls Fax Personal Meetings 4 Texas Legislative Guide

7 THE LETTER A letter can influence a legislator s opinion: By persuading him/her to take a position on a new issue To reverse a position he/she has already taken To encourage the legislator to renew efforts on a position already taken Some tips to remember: Keep letters to one page, if possible. Limit letters to one subject. Write legibly or type your letter. Have your exact return address on the letter, not just the envelope. Letters should be dignified, respectful and sincere. Be specific in stating why you are writing, what you want your legislator to do and how the legislation will affect the district, you, and your family. Be objective and avoid exaggeration. Enclose documentation which supports your position. Identify your subject clearly (if you are writing about a specific bill, note the bill name and number). If using a form letter, add in your own introduction and closing. Request an answer. Ask what their positions are on an issue or bill. Time your letters, if possible, to arrive during the middle of the week (i.e. after the huge Monday mail delivery and before the Friday rush to depart for the weekend). When appropriate, send a copy of your letter to a radio or television commentator, newspaper editor, or other opinion molder (Make a notation on the original to let your elected official know that your views will be considered by other influential people within their state or district). Requests should be reasonable and possible to accomplish. Write your representative when he/she does something that deserves recognition and praise. How To Make A Difference 5

8 THE LETTER (cont.) Identify yourself as a constituent. January 10, 2013 The Honorable Bill Smith Texas Senate P.O. Box Austin, TX Dear Senator Smith: Find out your representative s position on the issue. Cover only one issue and identify the subject clearly. Use a House or Senate bill number if you know it. As a resident of the 32nd Senatorial District, I am an active citizen in the Wabash community. There are a number of issues currently before the Texas Legislature which are of concern to my family and to others in my neighborhood. Could you let me know your views on SB 000? I understand this bill would make parental notification/consent a requirement before a minor can submit to an abortion. What is your position on this issue? I am surprised that Texas doesn t have such a requirement. Parental consent is required for every other serious medical procedure. In Texas, parents are responsible for raising their children. This includes helping children learn to make mature decisions. How can parents do this when their child can agree to a life-changing, surgical procedure without their knowledge? The state should do everything possible to help parents raise their children to be responsible adults. Therefore, I ask that you fully support this legislation. Your vote for SB 000 would be a sound decision for the good of all. Thank you for your service to the people of Texas. I appreciate your commitment to responsive, common-sense government. I look forward to hearing your views on this important issue. Sincerely, Jack Citizen 1234 Any Rd. Wabash, TX Include your return address in your letter. Explain how the issue affects you and your family. Offer constructive alternatives. Ask for a specific action. 6 Texas Legislative Guide

9 THE PHONE CALL Phone calls can help you establish a more personal rapport with your legislators than written communications. All of the information you need to reach your elected officials via phone is listed in the Federal and State Directory section of the guide. The following are some rules to go by when conducting a phone call with your legislator: Identify yourself by name, address and hometown within their district. Identify the bill by name and number. State briefly what your position is and how you would like your elected official to vote. Ask for their view on the bill or issue; be firm in obtaining a commitment to vote. Show appreciation for service on past votes (BE POSITIVE). Supply additional information, if asked, as quickly as possible. (The legislative cycle moves extremely fast during the session.) Provide the same information to the elected official s secretary or legislative aide, if congress or the legislature is in session. COMMUNICATION The Texas Values website allows you to immediately communicate with your legislators through . If you are not sending your through our Contacting Your Officials link (Pg. 4), then follow the guidelines on writing the letter (Pg. 5) to draft your . In the , remember to identify the topic in the subject line and blind copy (BCC) all recipients if you are sending it to multiple people. How To Make A Difference 7

10 THE PERSONAL MEETING Personal meetings can be very effective. Approaching them with kindness, good preparation, and a caring attitude will go a long way in opening up communication. PREPARE Pray for your meeting. Know your facts and be thorough. Develop a brief outline of the major points you need to cover. Consider possible questions and objections you may receive and how you can best respond. THE MEETING Be aware that you may meet with staff specializing in your particular issue. Be concise and well organized. Be kind and gracious. Do not get mad or threaten anyone. Do not talk poorly of other persons or groups. Follow your agenda and know your subject. Focus on your positive message. Tell your elected official the specific action you would like him/her to take. FOLLOW-UP Send a thank you and re-emphasize your key point in a positive way. Thank staff members who assisted you. Continue to verify the status of the representative s position. 8 Texas Legislative Guide

11 BASIC STEPS IN THE TEXAS LEGISLATIVE PROCESS IDEA BILL DRAFTED BILL FILED Ideas come from many sources: Constituents, interest groups, government agencies, and lobbyists. In response to those ideas, a legislator decides to sponsor a bill. The legislator requests the idea be drafted into a bill by the Legislative Council. The drafted bill is filed in the Senate or the House where it is assigned a number. This unique number remains with the bill throughout the process. FLOOR DEBATE COMMITTEE ACTION ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE Second Reading The bill is scheduled for debate and placed on the calendar (a list of bills officially eligible for debate). The caption of the bill is read again. Floor debate begins on the bill. The committee studies the bill, holds a public hearing, and suggests changes (if any). The committee may report the bill favorably or unfavorably back to the full chamber. First Reading The caption of the bill is read on the floor. The presiding officer of the chamber refers the bill to a standing committee. AMENDMENT/VOTE FLOOR DEBATE ENGROSSING The bill and any proposed amendments are debated by the whole chamber. The bill with any amendments must be approved by a simple majority of those members voting. Third Reading The bill is placed again on the calendar. The caption of the bill is read. Any further amendments require a 2/3 vote for approval. A majority vote is required for final passage. After third reading passage, the bill is finalized and an official copy of the bill is prepared and delivered to the second chamber. OTHER CHAMBER The bill goes through the same process in the second chamber. If the bill passes the second chamber without amendment, it is sent to the Governor. If the second chamber amends the bill, it must be sent back to the chamber of origin for approval of those amendments. If the chambers cannot come to an agreement on the version of the bill, a conference committee is appointed, in which all the differences must be resolved. The conference committee report must be adopted by a majority vote in each chamber. GOVERNOR After the bill passes both chambers in identical form, it is sent to the Governor. The Governor may sign the bill, veto the bill or allow the bill to become law without signature. LAW The bill becomes law upon the effective date of the bill. The official, signed version of the bill is filed with the Secretary of State. Reprinted with permission from the Governor s Commission for Women Legislative Handbook: P.O.
