Instead of printing out<BR>> a list of people who say they will support repeal, I shall bring the<BR>> list with me tommorrow because it is not long.<BR>> <BR>> We'll gather as close to 8 AM as you can comfortably get to Augusta<BR>> on the third floor in between the House and Senate. Either I or Judy<BR>> will try to be there to welcome you and get you started. I am going to<BR>> bring name tags. We might write our name, town, and position (such as<BR>> school board member, selectman, principal, superintendent) or nothing if<BR>> you wish. I'll also have some REPEAL stickers which you can wear if you<BR>> wish.<BR>> <BR>> My good friend, Dick Gould, shared some good advice about meeting<BR>> legislators in Augusta, which I shall share with you. He suggested a<BR>> name tag. I think that members of the legislature wear blue name tags,<BR>> but that could be passe. Approach the legislator, introduce yourself,<BR>> and ask them if they will vote to repeal the school consolidation law.<BR>> Listen to what they have to say and answer their questions politely and<BR>> honestly. Do not get in an argument with anyone. If they don't want to<BR>> talk, that is their privilege. Please keep a list of anyone you talk<BR>> with and make a note about whether they wiil vote to repeal or not vote<BR>> to repeal or are undecided or have any questions. Please give those<BR>> notes to me, Judy Sproule, or Lauren Romain before you leave. Please<BR>> ask any questions of us if you don't know the answer.<BR>> <BR>> At this point, we do not know when the repeal bill will be coming out of<BR>> committee. That is one of our goals for tomorrow. We hope to have an<BR>> opportunity to talk with the Speaker of the House, Glenn Cummings. At<BR>> noon, there will be a meeting of the rural caucus and some of us may<BR>> attend that.<BR>> <BR>> We have serious work to do, but let's be loose, enjoy this experience,<BR>> and do the best job we can. I've have my cell phone with me if you need<BR>> to contact me. It is 460-1260.<BR>> <BR>> Thank you for all your efforts, and we'll see some of you tomorrow.<BR>> I'll e-mail a report tomorrow night.<BR>> <BR>> Sincerely,<BR>> Skip<BR>> <BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> Local-Maine-Schools mailing list<BR>> To send a message to the list, write to:<BR>> Local-Maine-Schools@mainetalk.org<BR>> To unsubscribe or change subscription settings:<BR>> http://mainetalk.org/mailman/listinfo/local-maine-schools_mainetalk.org<BR>> <BR><BR><br /><hr />Windows Live Hotmail is giving away Zunes. <a href='http://www.windowslive-hotmail.com/ZuneADay/?locale=en-US&ocid=TXT_TAGLM_Mobile_Zune_V1' target='_new'> Enter for your chance to win.</a></body>
