Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement Announces New Lobby Day

Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement: 
 
January 23 & 29, 2007
February 6 & 20. 2007
    
Rally and Lobby Days at the State Capitol
Join us for upcoming lobby days. To get action on important issues like Voter-Owned Clean Elections, local control and clean air and water, we're ramping up our presence at the Capitol. We need you there!

    • Tuesday, January 23
    • Monday, January 29 (VOICE clean elections)
    • Tuesday, February 6
    • Tuesday, February 20

The first three lobby days, January 23, January 29 and February 6, will be smaller events focused on meeting with legislators during the middle portion of the day, from 10am-2pm. January 29 will specifically focus on Voter-Owned Clean Elections.

February 20 will be a larger lobby day, like the one we just had, lasting from 10am-3pm. Feb. 20 is right before the first funnel date, when all bills that are in committee must either pass out of committee or die. We want to make sure the good bills get through, so our presence will be very important!
If you can attend a lobby day(s), let us know by e-mail or by calling 515.282.0484.
