SPECIAL ALERT!!!
The Senate Judiciary and House Finance
Committees are holding a public hearing on the Percent of Market Value (P.O.M.V.)
of the Permanent Fund tomorrow evening (Thursday June 26) at 6 pm in Fairbanks.
P.O.M.V. is Governor Murkowski's "endowment
plan", which was introduced in the legislature as
SJR 18
and
HJR 26
during the last
session. This is their first step aimed at TAKING AWAY YOUR PFD!!!
Go to our
Permanent
Fund page for details on this legislation. Also see HJR 3 and
SJR 19 which will SAVE our PFD's!
It is
essential for everyone to testify or submit comments AGAINST Murkowski's P.O.M.V.
scheme, and insist that SJR 19 be put on the ballot in 2004 instead. You
can read a message into the record by
attending this meeting in person or via teleconference from your local legislative information
office. A
list of
LIO locations is included for your convenience.
If you are not able to testify in person or via teleconference, please
consider sending a message against SJR 18, and 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 the official record 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.
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, ONLY SJR 19 WILL
PUT THE PFD
INTO ALASKA'S CONSTITUTION !!!
