Subject: LPAlist: ALERT: It's Time to Contact Your Representative . . . TODAY!
To: thelpa@...



The House will begin debate on HB1, The Budget, on Thursday. Please take a few
moments to contact your Representative asking for his/her support of the arts in
your community. It’s very easy . . . simply go to www.lparts.org and put your
zip code in the box marked “Write Your Legislators” at the lower left side
of the page and click on “GO!” Look for the Action Alert, “Louisiana:
House of Representatives to Debate Budget” and click on “Take Action.”
You will find a message asking legislators for their support of the House
Appropriations Committee amendment restoring the arts funding to the CRT budget.
If you feel you must, you made add a personal note since these will go only to
your individual Representatives rather than the full House. But, please keep
your message short and sweet. Because I know my Representative well, I changed
the first line of the message to read, "Our arts organizations in Ouachita
Parish need your support through your vote to approve the House Appropriations
Committee amendment restoring the Decentralized Arts Funding and Statewide
Grants Programs to the CRT budget."

As always, please forward any response that you receive from your Representative
to my attention. We always want to stay abreast of any negative responses so we
can handle those as well as any positive responses so we can thank that
Representative at Arts Advocacy Day next Wednesday.

Thanks for your support!
