From:     Protect Forever Wild

Game On!!!!!  Just moments ago, the House Rules Committee placed HB126 on the Special Order Calendar for Thursday of this week.  This means we will be looking at a floor vote in the House day after tomorrow.  Let’s move out fast and get the Forever Wild support machine in high gear.  We need to immediately focus on the following:

1)  Call your local Representative at the State House and tell them you know that HB126 (Forever Wild bill) will be up for a vote in the House on Thursday. Tell them to be there and to “VOTE YES ON HB 126 – WITH NO AMENDMENTS” when it comes to the floor Thursday.  Again, if you get their secretary when you call, ask them to give your Representative a note with your name, where you are from, that you want them to “VOTE YES ON HB126 – WITH NO AMENDMENTS”, and ask them to call you back. (House phone numbers provided below.)

2)  After you complete your call, turn around and send them an email stating the same – and put in the subject line “VOTE YES ON HB126 – WITH NO AMENDMENTS.”  (House email addresses provided below.)

3)  On Thursday we need a large Forever Wild presence in the State House halls before the House comes into session and we need a large presence in the House Gallery on Thursday during the floor debate and vote.  The House usually comes in around 10 AM on Thursdays so be there in plenty of time to see your Representative before moving up to the Gallery .

4)  For those who cannot make the trip, we need people listening to the live House Audio so that we can have constituents back home sending real-time emails and calling in with messages to any Representative that chooses to speak in opposition to HB126.
