It's Time To Turn Up The Heat!
We have just learned from one of our legislative sources and another insider at the state capitol that there is a group of state legislators who ran and were elected on a Pro-Life platform, many of them received an endorsement from GRTL, and claim to believe in the santity of life – yet appear unwilling at this time to support HB1. We wanted to point out these state legislators to you so that you can help us turn up the electoral "heat" to get them moving in support of this vital Pro-Life measure.

Letter Lobbying Effort
A famous politician once said, "When I feel the heat, I see the light!" It is precisely the "heat" of thousands of concerned Pro-Life Georgia voters we want to bring to bear on the officials we have elected to represent us at the Capitol. They need to get the message loud and clear from us that HB1 is essential to us and that we will hold them accountable. We are asking everyone to personally write letters to the following individuals and mail them during the dates indicated:
State Representative Mark Burkhalter (District 41) , January 28 – 30

We also ask that you take the time today to write your own State Representative on behalf of HB1.
Some Suggestions for Effective Letter Lobbying:
1. Make each letter as personal as possible. Mass, pre-formatted letters are quickly discarded and certainly ignored by legislative staffers. We have written a simple paragraph that we recommend you include in your letter (you may reword to your taste):
As an elected official of the state of Georgia, it is your duty to represent the citizens of our state in all matters of governance entrusted to you. As a concerned voting citizen of this state, I want you to know that the sanctity of every human life from conception to old age is of vital importance to me. I therefore urge you to exercise your delegated authority on behalf of the people of Georgia in full support of HB1.
2. Letters may be typed, hand-written, or composed on computer and printed. However, we believe it is very important that they be hand-signed and that the envelopes be hand-addressed.
3. For those who have the resources, we suggest that letter lobbyists use better paper stock for their letters. Better envelopes are also likely to catch the attention of staffers.
Insure the Passage of HB1:
Contact your Georgia State Representative and ask him/her to support HB1.
Visit the Georgia General Assembly site.
Contribute financially to ProLife Unity's HB1 campaign:
Call, write, and/or e-mail your family and friends about this important initiative.
*Support ProLife Unity's crucial, life saving work through your financial gifts.
Pray daily for the end of abortion on demand and for our nation to protect the sanctity of human life.
