To do several of these things: Go to http://www.cdhbills.org/ and find your Senator's contact information. Call their offices, make an appt. At the least, you will speak to their health aide. Take a copy of the bill with you (also on the site). Take a photo of them and you and your cherub or your cherub's photo. Write up your cherub's story and how you are helping with this bill by asking for support. A one page story/press release. Then march into your local newspaper or TV station's office and ask to speak to a reporter. Tell them your story in person. Hand them the printed story (with your contact info) and your photo. You can use the letter template (on the site too) to help with the story paper if you need it. MOST IMPORTANT is talking to the Senator and/or Aide! We need their vote!!!!!! Then try the media. The worse the media can say is no.
