How to make an offer your Legislator can’t refuse!
How to make appointments for Black Thursday?
• Select one person from your chapter. (to eliminate duplication)
• Pull your folks to see if they have done this or know any of the Legislators.
• To find your Legislators info go to: WWW.leg.wa.gov/wsladm/default.htm
• Know how many folks from your district will be attending with you. (reserve a room if over 6, ASK LA How)
• Call LA (Legislative assistant) They are the key, be nice, friendly tell them why you want a few minutes with their boss. They know what it is about.
• If you can go to Olympia and pre-meet the LA and get the lay of the land, try to schedule based on office locations. If you are not careful, you might get real tired going up stairs and elevators.
• Be flexible, sometimes you might need to walk down a hall with Legislator. Sometimes you might have to split your forces.
• Start in Now, Early mornings are best to call and to meet.
• Any troubles, Call me- richard.l.bright@us.army.mil or 509-697-9877
