From Molly Janczyk, October 13, 2007
Subject: EASY PARTICIPATION: HB 315 (OEA; ORTA sites)

PLEASE GO TO WEBSITES FOR:

1. OEA: www.ohea.org

IT IS NOT EASY TO FIND but on the front page, scroll down to Sen. Oleslager: STRS Health Care Bill. ((I would like to see it at the top with big HB 315 lettering for easy locating)).

Click on this heading and immediately find talking points and most importantly FILL IN YOUR INFO AT THE RIGHT AND CLICK SEND THIS MESSAGE! A prewritten message is seen by paging down AND IT GOES RT TO YOUR LEGISLATOR BECAUSE YOU FILLED IN YOUR ADDRESS AND ZIP CODE!

2. ORTA: www.orta.org

The info on HB 315 IS EASY TO FIND at the top AND by clicking on this, you do to a list of legislators with contact info. CLICK ON YOUR LEGISLATOR TO SEND A MESSAGE ON HB 315!

3. STRS has talking pts and thorough specifics on this legislation but I found no link to legislators or for a online message to them.

PLEASE TAKE 2 MINUTES MAX TO COMPLETE THIS IMPORTANT COMMUNICATION TO YOUR LEGISLATOR!

Write and call your local school boards asking to meet and/or discuss/present strong valid points given to you previously and found on OEA, STRS, ORTA websites. Follow the guidelines presented. Educators are trying to prepay for their healthcare. Stick to statements on these websites and presented to you earlier by email by Dave Parshall and myself following a meeting on this issue with OEA, STRS, etc.

DO: Contact Laura Ecklar, STRS Communications on HB 315 regarding ANY comments/feedback/questions rec'd: ecklarl@strsoh.org

This helps with future communications.

ASK 10 OTHERS TO DO SO AS WELL!

IT IS OUR FUTURE AND WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MOVING THIS CAMPAIGN FOR OUR HEALTHCARE AND THE HC OF FUTURE RETIREES!

PLEASE! TAKE A MOMENT AND KNOW YOU HELPED THIS CAUSE!
