Contact Members Of Health Committee

As you may have heard, this year's bill is officially SB314, sponsored by Senators Bussman and Holtzclaw. As usual, the bill was assigned to the Senate Health Committee, which presents the usual hurdles to getting the bill out of committee. We need for the members of Senate Health to hear from as many Alabamians as possible!  This is urgent.  So here's what you need to do: Head to this link and scroll to the Health Committee. And then start writing and/or dialing. If you call (call the Montgomery numbers), be polite and brief, stating simply your name and that you would like to encourage Senator _______ to fully support SB314/"the midwife bill", not only with his/her vote, but also by his/her attendance at any public hearing or vote related to SB314. If you write (send to Montgomery address and address envelope to "The Honorable [Senator's full name]), make the same requests. Senator Bussman is vice-chair of Health, so you **do not** need to call his office. If you'd like to write to him, please do so only to thank him for his work and tireless support of our issue.  If you have any questions , please post them to our page on facebook, and share with us any responses you hear.  Let's show our legislators just how important this issue is to Alabama families. Thank you for your support!
