We have many challenges ahead of us this year including:
stopping privatization and preserving our benefits.
You can, and will, make a difference with the skills and experience you will gain from this training.
The training will take place Sunday March 26, 2017 from 2-7pm.
It consists of an afternoon/evening briefing about grass roots lobbying,
and the issue(s) we will be lobbying your Representative or Senator about,
followed by an office visit the next day.
We will be attending an appointment with your Congressional Rep. or Senator,
a legislative committee member may attend with you.
I also urge you to consider joining the PASS PAC if you are not already a member.
If you are a member, you might want to consider increasing your contribution.
The PAC supports those candidates who support US.
