Your elected officials represent you, but they can’t do this effectively if they don’t know what you want. This booklet offers many examples of ways to become a trusted resource for legislators and other elected officials on issues that affect your life. These are tried and true methods for successful advocacy. All it takes is making that first step to write a letter or email, make a phone call, attend a reception or an Advocacy Day/Rally. It’s about building a relationship with those who make decisions that affect your life. Lawmakers look to their constitutents for reliable information and direction on issues before them. With so many issues on their plate -- from education and health care to transportation and the economy -- your knowledge of developmental disabilities helps them do their job. Page 2 Hot Tips for Advocates Be A Resource There’s a fine line between keeping your legislators current on developing issues and over-working your relationship with too much repetition. If you keep in regular contact with your legislators, be sure to always provide fresh, useful information, such as the status of a bill or budget item on which you need their support or assistance. Legislation changes often and quickly throughout the session, as other interest groups weigh in and amendments are made. Be sure to stay on top of these changes and...

In order to represent you, however, they need to know your position on issues. Below is a list of tips on how to effectively communicate with your legislators. Do’s and Don’ts Tips for Meeting with Elected Officials Do Don’t’t Make an appointment. Get upset if your legislator cannot see you personally. Be on time for the visit. Be late for the visit. Be positive and friendly. Just wear anything - think ahead Plan what you are going to wear ahead and pick out clothing that you like of time and make sure you feel and feel good in or that makes you comfortable and confident. comfortable. State the reason for your visit. Be confrontational or threatening. Personalize the issue. Try to discuss several different issues. Provide reliable information. Talk only in terms of Provide the names of people who can numbers and acronyms. be resources and who can give additional information. Give incorrect information. If you say you will get back to them Try to answer questions with guesses. with more information, be sure to get back to them. Forget to write a “thank you” letter. Write a “thank you” letter. Ignore your legislators for the rest of the year. Page 4 Hot Tips for Advocates What You Don’t Know Won’t (necessarily) Hurt You Sometimes, a legislator or aide may ask for information that you do not have (such as data). Not only is it okay to say you don’t know, it is the very best response you can give! As a constituent, it’s not your job to understand or have access to information that agencies and professional advocates have. Stick to what you know best-- your life. You are the expert in telling your story and how it relates to decisions being made by lawmakers. Instead of guessing, say you don’t know; or find someone who does, such as an advocacy organization like The Arc of Kentucky. You will greatly increase your credibility and strengthen your legislative relationships! Page 5 Hot Tips for Advocates The Art of a Clear Message When you speak up for yourself, or for others, you are an advocate. To be a good advocate, get your point across with a clear message. Shape your message with three main points: 1. The issue most important to you 2. How this issue affects your life or the lives of others 3. The action or results you are seeking Assume the person you are communicating with does not know anything about you, your life or the issues that affect your life. Be sure that your message answers these three questions: z Who are you and where do you live? z What is important to you and why? z What action do you want taken? Page 6 Hot Tips for Advocates Example of a Clear Message Dear Representative, I am writing to discuss a very important bill that is close to my heart. HB 374 is a bill that will give adults with guardians the right to vote. I think people with guardians should be able to vote be- cause I believe that everyone deserves to have a voice in government. All people are allowed freedom of speech as written in the Bill of Rights. If we do not follow this rule, what is the use in writing it? I have a developmental disability, like a lot of other people in this state, yet we are treated differently. If this bill passes it could at least change this part of our lives and teach others that it doesn’t matter if you were born different from other people, everyone should be treated equally.

  • 2010 Kentucky General Assembly Directory Visitor’S Guide
    2010 Kentucky General Assembly Directory Visitor’s Guide February 2010 Paid for with state funds. Available in alternative form by request. Legislative Research Commission LRC Legislative Research Commission Foreword When the fi rst Kentucky General Assembly met in 1792, its members chose the term “commonwealth” to describe Kentucky. While there is no legal difference between a commonwealth and a state, Kentucky’s early leaders perhaps wanted to assert an indepen- dence of ideals and governance. By defi nition, a commonwealth is a political unit founded on law, united for the common good, and with supreme authority vested in the people. This ultimately de- fi nes Kentucky: government by the people and for the people. Like most states, Kentucky has a part-time citizen legislature with members from diverse backgrounds and communities. All 138 members, however, serve year-round as legislators, representing constituents, helping them solve problems, and studying new ideas. Of Kentucky’s three branches of government—execu- tive, judicial, and legislative—the legislative is the one closest to the people and the one into which Kentuck- ians have the most direct input. Consequently, it is benefi cial to both the legislature and our citizens that the work of the General Assembly be understood and the legislative process be used to its full potential.

Through Pfizer PAC, we support candidates who understand the importance of innovative life sciences companies like Pfizer in fighting disease, improving health outcomes, and ensuring access to vital medicines. This report includes a list of candidates and political committees that Pfizer PAC supported during the 2005-06 election cycle.
