[mou] Fwd: 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.

>>> I am sending this message again because the date for the Metro  
>>> area has changed to March 3rd.
>>>
>>> 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.
>>>
>>> To learn more about Audubon Minnesota’s 2008 state legislative  
>>> priorities, go to Audubon Minnesota's website.

>>> will begin in the morning wit an overview of the MEP collaborative  
>>> agenda, a brief training and role play on how to lobby your

>>> We’ll break for lunch (bring or buy your own), then we’ll tour of  
>>> the Capitol and attend afternoon legislative appointments.
