It is time to tell our Texas legislators about our UU values. Tell them what you think about the many bills that are in committee and up for a vote. The legislators want and need our feedback. There are Good and Bad Bills; we must tell them how our UU values guide us.
HOW DO I LET THEM KNOW?
Make personal visits
Give testimony to a committee
Go to Austin for “dropping cards,”
Make phone calls with a script to help you
Write letters
Complete online comments.
(Emails are the least effective.)
