2. Who is the legislator you are going to write your letter to next week? It should be an appropriate level legislator for the level at which your legislation currently resides. It should be someone who has not voiced their support or opposition yet or someone who opposes the bill.

Why did you choose this person?
3. What is his or her stance on the issue? For or against? Please choose someone with a stance on the issue or someone who could potentially contribute to promoting, or stopping your legislation.

5. Briefly, what are your 3 reasons/talking points for asking for support, continued support, or stopping the legislation? You may use a bullet points/a list. You do not need to include references at this time, but you will next week for your letter.
