Public Policy November Blast
CONTACT YOUR LEGISLATOR!!!
We often feel compelled to contact our legislator when we notice that our legislator may not be supporting our views. However, it is just an important to contact them to let them know that they are supporting your views. Your legislator is working on your behalf and part of their role is to express the views of their constituents to congress.
So, it is often just as important to contact them and say "thank you"
for supporting...... as it is when there is an issue.

Develop a relationship with your legislator, this will ensure that pediatric nutrition is kept on the forefront of legislative decisions.
