Change is made by those who show up or speak up.

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... TAKE ACTION

Your legislators have the responsibility to represent you and your interests at the state level. 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!

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.

Please vote yes on HB 374.

Sincerely,

Corinne P. Nelson 32nd District

*Note: In 2007, HB 374 was passed by the Legislature and signed by the .

Giving Testimony

If you are giving testimony, find out if you need to bring written copies of your testimony and how many copies are needed. When you talk, don’t read the testimony but give the main points. If there’s a time limit, stay within it.

Practice, practice, practice your speech. In real hearings, people wander in and out, talk to each other, laugh, and pay no attention to speakers. This includes the audience and the people who are supposed to be listening to the testimony! This can be very upsetting if you don’t expect it, so get some friends to wander around and talk while you are speaking. This will get you ready for the real thing and help you make sure you keep within the time limits. Get help writing the speech if you need to.

You may want to write the main points on small index cards that you can refer to quickly making sure you state everything in the order you want in a timely manner.

The Legislative Message Line:

Toll-Free Numbers at the Capitol Annex 1 (800) 372-7181 Legislative Message Line 1 (800) 633-9650 Legislative Calendar (Meetings) Line 1 (800) 896-0305 TTY Message Line 1 (866) 840-6574 Message Line en Espanol 1 (866) 840-2835 Bill Status Line

The toll-free Legislative Message Line (1-800-372-7181) is a fast way for you to voice your opinions on bills during the legislative session.

When you call the Message Line, an operator will answer and take your message. Your message will be sent to your legislators.

The Message Line is not an answering service for the legislators. It is only a message service for you to express your opinions.

Weekday Hours: Monday - Thursday 7:00 a.m. 11:30 p.m. Friday - 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. DURING LEGISLATIVE SESSION ONLY

If the Message Line is busy when you call, KEEP TRYING! You will get through, but it may take several calls.

Telephone Tips

1-800-372-7181

Your call is so important that if just five or ten calls are made that support or oppose a bill it is considered a landslide of public opinion.

When you do make a Hotline call, be sure to follow these easy guidelines:

State YOUR NAME and ADDRESS. If you know the names of your Legislators, give their names, as well as your DISTRICT.

Identify the specific BILL you are calling about. Use the exact bill number, if you know what it is.

State YOUR POSITION (support, oppose, amend) and keep it simple.

NOTE: You can also call directly to your legislator’s office in Frankfort at 502-564-8100. This is not free but does offer an opportunity for longer discussions. You will probably receive a return phone call.

Page 11 Hot Tips for Advocates

They’ve Got E-Mail

Most legislators use e-mail to communicate with their constituents. Often, they are on their laptops during committee meetings or on the chamber floor. The right message at the right time can work wonders!

When sending an e-mail, follow the same rules as for letters and phone calls. Be brief, be polite, be accurate. Be sure to sign your name and address.

All addresses begin with the legislator’s first name, followed by a dot, then

 Last name  @lrc.ky.gov

Example: [email protected]

Visit the State Legislature Website for information about your legislators (e.g., contact information, committees, voting history), as well as specific information on bills. www.lrc.ky.gov

The Budget Process

The state budget process takes place every other year. Every even- numbered year, such as 2008, the biennial (two-year) budget is created.

The biennal budget takes effect July 1st of every even-numbered year.

Start Here

The Governor directs all state agencies to put together budget packages, with guidelines for cuts or increases.

State agencies put budget packages together over the summer. They deliver their requests to the Governor by Fall.

Page 15 Hot Tips for Advocates

The Budget Process

The budget must be passed by the House and Senate before the Governor signs it.

The Governor puts together budget proposals. These are made public in December.

During session, the House and Senate each craft budget proposals of their own in response to the Governor’s proposals. A final, agreed-upon budget has to be passed by the House and Senate before it goes to the Governor for signature.

Page 16 Hot Tips for Advocates

How a Bill Becomes a Law

Each session, about 1,000 bills are introduced and sent to committees. To make sure that each proposed law is a good idea, bills are put through a tough review process.

The whole process that turns bills into laws is made to kill bills, rather than pass them.

A legislator sponsors a bill to make a new law or change an existing law.

Bills are first filed, then passed or killed, through committees. Committees ask questions, hear testimony from the public and vote.

Page 17 Hot Tips for Advocates

The Bill Process

A bill moves through each committee where it either dies or passes until it reaches the floor of the chamber where it began (House or Senate). The chamber in which the bill is first introduced is called the house of origin.

If it passes the whole house of origin, it goes through the same process in the opposite house.

If it passes the opposite house, the Governor can sign the bill into law, veto it, or veto parts of it.

Then, it’s on to a state agency for rules, regulations and making it work!

Below is a short glossary of terms used in the public policy process.

Amendment - As bills move through the legislative process, they are often changed through amendments. Sometimes the changes are minor, but sometimes they are drastic enough to entirely alter the intent of the legislation.

Bill - A written proposal to create or change a law. Most bills can become a law only if two-fifths of the members elected to each chamber for for it.

Filed - When a bill is introduced, it is filed at the Clerk Desk on the House or Senate Floor. Filing is a good thing...if it’s a bill you support. It is read that day.

Committee on Committees - A group of legislative leaders that assigns each bill to the appropriate committee for study.

Committee Vote - After a bill is “heard” the committee takes a vote. If a bill receives a majority vote of the Committee membership, it advances to the floor.

Floor - The full chamber of either the House or Senate. It’s where legislators vote as a whole.

Hearing - A committee “hears” public testimony from citizens, agencies and professional lobbyists who explain why a bill is good, bad or in need of amendments.

Green Slip - Calls to the Legislative Message Line (1-800-372-718) by constituents are tallied in opposition or support of a bill. The operator completes a Green Slip for the Legislator. This can sometimes sway the yes or no vote.

Page 41 Kentucky General Assembly

The General Assembly meets in regular session 60 days in even-numbered years, and 30 days in odd-numbered years. It convenes in special sessions at the call of the Governor. The Kentucky Constitution mandates that a regular session be completed no later than April 15 in even-numbered years and March 30 in odd-numbered years. To provide an efficient way of deliberating the many issues under consideration, each chamber is organized into standing committees which concentrate on specific topics, such as Education or Transportation. The jurisdiction of each committee is detailed in Senate Rules and House Rules, respectively, which are adopted at the beginning of each session. Standing committees, which usually number between 12 and 15 for each chamber, meet only during a session, and all proposed legislation must move through them.

STANDING COMMITTEES - To provide a continuity of study and action between sessions, interim joint committees are formed from the standing committees of both houses. For instance, the Education Committee of the Senate and the Education Committee of the House become the Interim Joint Committee on Education after the regular session. Interim committees, besides discussing and studying issues in-depth, draft and approve bills for prefiling for the next regular session. This enables bills to be introduced at the beginning of the session and standing committees to become active immediately.

STATUTORY COMMITTEES - In addition to interim joint committees, there are other committees that are authorized by the Kentucky Revised Statutes or function as subcommittees of the Legislative Research Commission (LRC). Their meetings are open to the public and the press. These include:  Legislative Research Commission  Administrative Regulation Review Subcommittee  Capital Planning Advisory Board  Capital Projects and Bond Oversight Committee  Education Assessment and Accountability Review Subcommittee  Government Contract Review Committee  Medicaid Oversight and Advisory Committee  Program Review and Investigations Committee  Tobacco Settlement Agreement Fund

SPECIAL COMMITTEES - Special committees are appointed by the LRC and function primarily during interim periods, usually to study a specific topic. These committees may prefile bills, and forward recommendations to the LRC and the General Assembly.
