Sign Up for DFNM Citizen Lobbying at NM Legislature - This Friday 2/11

LET’S HIT THE LEGISLATURE! TOPIC: VOTER-ELECTION REFORM & PROBLEMS

Senator Linda Lopez has invited DFA-DFNM Albuquerque members to come and speak before her Senate Rules Committee on 2 voter ID bills, on Friday, February 11, 2005, 8:00 AM, in Santa Fe, at the Roundhouse.

I will be setting up car pools to leave Albuquerque around 6:30-6:45 AM on Friday, 2/11/05.  People can go for a half day or the full day on Friday, if car pools allow. I will fill you full of information about how the legislature works and how to make your way around when you are up there as a citizen lobbyist.

Please let me know ASAP if you can go on Friday and please provide a phone number where I can reach you to discuss car pooling and plans.
