[mou] Day at the Capitol

[Tom Bell]

>
> As the MOU representative to the Minnesota Environmental Partnership  
> I want to remind you of this day at the Capitol. It is a wonderful  
> opportunity to meet with your legislators and be with other kindred  
> souls.

>
> Are you Ready for Lobby Day?
> Rolling Thunder Lobby Days at the Capitol!
>
> Many Audubon members have been asking “When is Lobby Day?”   Until  
> recently, I wasn’t sure!  For the last 6 years, Audubon Minnesota  
> has joined forces with the Minnesota Environmental Partnership and  
> other member organizations in coordinating one very big and powerful  
> environmental LOBBY DAY.  It’s fun and it’s exciting.
>
> This year we are trying something different.  Instead of hosting  
> just one Citizens’ Day at the Capitol, we decided to host six.   
> We’re calling it “Rolling Thunder Days at the Capitol.”  By focusing  
> on regions of the state, we will provide a more in-depth experience  
> for participants and member groups.  This is the one occasion of the  
> year where we all come together, with our members and grassroots  
> leaders, to make sure our state legislators know that Minnesotans  
> value our lakes, rivers, streams, forests and our great outdoors!
>
> In addition, the constant rumble of constituents at the Capitol  
> talking about our issues during the first half of the legislative  
> session will surely impress our elected leaders!  We need you to  
> make sure Minnesotans are heard andMinnesota’s future is protected  
> for all to enjoy.
