Call Your Legislator

We are planning a call-your-legislator campaign to demonstrate the community support for reducing obesity and diabetes by passing House Bill 1697.  Our goal is to generate 300 calls by April 20th.

We need volunteers!  If you would like to join us in getting commitments from friends and colleagues to call their legislators, please
contact us

To call your legislator, follow the instructions below.
  • Click here to find the contact details for the house representative in your district.  Calling personally with your message is most effective.  Legislators have staff that are very used to receiving calls and are usually very receptive.  
  • When you call, simply state the following:
    • My name is _________________________ and I live in [insert city or town].
    • I am calling to express my support for House Bill 1697 to remove the state subsidy on sugary beverages and candy.
    • I would like the money raised to be used for public health programs such as those to fight childhood obesity.
    • Thank you for your time.
