In anticipation of Governor Pawlenty's budget coming out tomorrow (Tuesday), we've been working on sharpening our messages to your families, staff, Board of Directors and, of course, to the media. Speaker of the House Margaret Anderson Kellihor is on Minnesota Public Radio this morning, so we'll wait and see what she says to the media -- and what Gov. Pawlenty's actual budget is -- before sending our refined talking points to you. We will likely alert you via this blog and and an email alert either Tuesday or Wednesday with our final messages.
Meanwhile, please remember to set aside February 12th to attend ARRM's Day at the Capitol rally. Our website is currently stocked to the hilt with advocacy tools, tip, and talking points. Plus, we've recently added a video to our arsenal, entitled "How to Talk to Your Legislator". You'll need Windows Media Player or QuickTime Media Player to view this ten-minute piece, which we created before last year's session.
