Please visit our Legislative Action Page today! There you will be able to: 1. Locate your district Senator and Representative. 2. Download Amendment 1 talking points, past and future conservation projects in your region, and a list of how all the districts in your area voted on Amendment 1. 3. Send a direct email to the Senate Committee on Environmental Preservation and Conservation (after youve read the Amendment 1 talking points). 4.

Meeting with your lawmaker(s) is the THE MOST IMPORTANT thing you can do right now to ensure that Amendment 1 funds are implemented according to the intent of 4.2 million voters and thousands of volunteers who worked on the Amendment 1 initiative. That intent is to fund the conservation programs that have been working for the past several years in order to restore and protect our rivers, lakes, springs, beaches and natural areas for future generations. Dont delay. If you havent already made an appointment with your lawmakers, make one today!
