Iowa Health Freedom Coalition Day at the Capitol Monday, Feb. 13
 
The Iowa Health Freedom Coalition, www.IowaHealthFreedom.org, enthusiastically invites you to attend our Day at the Capitol for consumers and practitioners interested in the growth of the healing arts in Iowa.  Our purpose is to continue to create awarenss of issues regarding freedom of access to all  of the healing arts.  We also will be educating legislators in regard to our health freedom legislation and provide them with an opportunity to experience, first hand, some of the healing modalites involved.
 
Practitioners of un-licensed healing arts are invited to bring treatment tables, product displays, or materials. We will  provide treatment, examples, samples or information to legislators on benefits and importance to Iowans of these healing methods.
 
We have room for apporximately 35 eight foot tables (or bodywork tables).  You must bring your own tables and chairs (see "rules" below).
 
Please RSVP to Trilby Sedlacek, Green Angel Herbs, 319-247-1243 or e-mail Trilby Sedlacek <gangel999@aol.com>.
 
Our day at the Capitol is scheduled from 8:00 AM unitl 4:30 PM.  We have reserved the East and South wings on the first floor Rotunda.  We will be informing as many legislators as possible.

Please feel free to bring Healthy treats and snacks / beverages to share with legislators.  
 
We are planning an opening ceremony prayer of Love and Gratitude.
 
See you there.

Please Note:
 
It is important for you to call your State Senator and State Representative and invite and encourage them to attend and to support the Health Freedom bill sponsored by Senators Hatch and Boettger (e-mail is not as effective, but please e-mail them too so they have it in writing.)   
 
You can find your State Senator and State Representative by typing in your zip code on this web page, http://www.legis.state.ia.us/FindLeg/.   The Capitol swithchboard number in Des Moines to call during the week is:
Senate  515-281-3371
House   515-281-3221
 
Or after you find your legislator you may want to go to this link, Home Addresses, and find their biographical sketch and home phone number and call them at home on the weekend.  This is a great idea because at the Capitol, you may only get to leave a message.  Always be sure to tell them you live in their district.
 
Please contact any media, newspaper or TV / Radio, with a Capitol reporter that you may have a relationship with and tell them about our event.
