Until yesterday, I was acting on the understanding that transmitting your letters in either support or opposition to SB 202 to the Asssembly Analyst would get them included in the packets that the voting members of the State Legislature would be receiving regarding this issue. THAT IS NOT TRUE! In order for your representatives, and the voting members to hear your voice, you MUST send your letters, faxes and phone calls to them directly.

I have taken the liberty of posting the link to the State Assembly Site to locate your District and thus Assembly Person. Please take a moment and click on the link below to locate you district and then to find your assembly member and get their fax number to fax and mail your letters to them directly as well.

I have done the same process with the State Senate

On this site, simply click on the "Your Senator" button and then get the contact information. You may also wish to cc the Chair herself - Senator Gloria Negrete McLeod.
