SPECIAL ALERT!!!
The Senate Judiciary Committee will hear
SJR 19 this Friday May 16, 2003
at 1:00 PM.
SJR 19 will put the permanent fund dividend
and inflation proofing of the fund's principal into our state constitution.
This will take the fund's earnings out of the legislatures grasp without a vote
of the people.
It is
essential for everyone to testify or submit comments if we want this issue on the ballot in 2004.
If you are not able to testify, please
consider sending a message in support of SJR 19 using one or more of the methods
listed below.
Write a message and email it to the
Senate
Judiciary Committee.
Submit the same message as
written testimony
which will be attached to SJR 19 for all to see. Your friends and
neighbors without computers can also "sign" your message, but should
include their name and telephone number for possible verification. Email
your written testimony to the
LIO and they will forward it to the proper
destination. You can also fax directly to resolution sponsor Senator Lincoln: (907) 465-2652
or call the LIO with your message.
The same message could be read into the record AND sent to the committee by
attending the meeting via teleconference from your local legislative information
office. A list of
LIO locations is included for your convenience.
If you would like to testify but are unable to meet at the LIO, contact our
office
for a toll free telephone number you can use for submitting oral testimony. Please
contact us by 10:30 AM Friday, so we can get you on the call in list.
Consider also a 50 word public
opinion message (POM) sent to the entire Senate Judiciary committee in
support of SJR 19.
A copy of the Alaska Voters Organization formal
resolution in support of SJR
19 is attached for "talking points" that can be incorporated into your message.
And finally, encourage your family, friends, and neighbors to get involved.
Working together we can make this happen!
REMEMBER SJR 19 WILL PUT THE PFD
INTO ALASKA'S CONSTITUTION !!!
