Follow up periodically either by phone or by leper. A reminder to the legislator is appreciated since thousands of bills are considered each session. Testifying Letter writing, telephoning and lobbying can be done both during and in between sessions. During the session when a bill in which you or your organization has a special interest is being considered, a public hearing will be held by a committee about your bill and you may want to testify. When testifying- Sign up early.
Early testimony is effective.
Have written copies of your testimony or position. State your position early in your testimony. Don't be redundant. Indicate agreement or disagreement with previous speakers and state why. If facts are given, indicate source.
