ACTION ALERT: NO on AB2072

The Senate Appropriations Committee met last Monday and voted to put AB2072 in the suspense file. That is good news.

HOWEVER, Appropriations staff and Senate Leadership Team will meet this coming Thursday, August 12 to decide which bills will stay on suspense and which bills to send to the Senate floor for a full vote. If AB2072 stays on suspense, it will become a dead bill and our Deaf Community will have won our opposition against this bill. If AB2072 is sent to Senate for a vote, then our fight continues.

Your involvement is crucial right NOW! We need you to contact two senators who are on the Senate Leadership Team to tell them that you do NOT support AB2072 and ask that they keep the bill in suspense. We also need you to show up in Sacramento at the Capital this coming Thursday at 9AM, ready to fight if the bill is taken out of suspense. Please visit www.dcara.org/ab2072 for details of the exact meeting place.

Call your Senators NOW (Wednesday and Thursday) to tell them that you do NOT support AB2072 and ask that they keep this flawed bill on suspense!

Senator Christine Kehoe:
(916) 651-4039

Senator Darrell Steinberg:
916-651-4006. (The number listed is his fax.)

It is fairly simple as you dial the phone number, say you oppose AB2072, give your zip code and full name. That is about it. The line might be busy as we try to flood senators w our opposition!
