Be a Lobbyist for a Day!

The Congress has a full time lobbyist and several interns who will be working the legislature for the citizens’ interest – but that’s not enough.  Elected officials need to hear from citizens who actually vote in their districts, folks like you, to understand the importance of citizen issues.  Sign up to become a Lobbyist for the Day and impact your state government.
