Key industry issues Immigration reform Health care & insurance Estate tax repeal Water legislation AgJOBS Basics of grassroots lobbying Outreach efforts Writing/ ing legislators Making effective lobbying visits Calling senators/representatives Hosting a tour or event Working with the media Outreach efforts Outreach efforts (cont.) 6
7 Outreach efforts (cont.) Outreach efforts (cont.) 2005 Legislative Conference Outreach efforts (cont.) Outreach efforts (cont.) HortTechnology, April-June 2006 Writing/ ing legislators Use your company s letterhead or personal stationery. If you are writing on behalf of the industry, use your company or association stationery. Be sure that your return address is on your letter, not just on the envelope. This will help to ensure a response most envelopes are discarded right away. Be accurate. Spell names correctly and verify information. Writing/ ing legislators Be brief. Tell why you are writing and get right to the point. If you know the name or number of the bill that is of interest to you, include it. Use ANLA sample letters as guidelines when they are available. These will give you specific information such as bill numbers and titles. Look for them on the Legislative Action Center website. 7
8 Writing/ ing legislators Relate your reason for writing to a personal experience this is the best supporting evidence for your opinion. Explain how the legislation would affect your business, your fellow employees, and the community in which you live. Ask for a response explaining his or her position on the issue in their reply so you can avoid receiving a typical form letter response. 1. Make an appointment Call at least a week or two in advance to set up the meeting; most offices require you to fax a letter stating the date, time, and nature of your intended visit. An appointments secretary or scheduler holds the key to a member s calendar. You will need to become friendly and familiar with this person to get an appointment. 2. Arrival Arrive on time or even a little early if possible. Fifteen minutes (possibly 20) is a realistic expectation for your meeting. Do not be surprised if your meeting starts a bit late or is cut short or you are not able to speak directly to the Representative. Often, staff members meet with constituents treat them in the same manner as you would the member. 3. Introductions If you are advocating a position supported by your association, speak on behalf of the entire industry. State number of firms or constituents you are representing. Introduce yourself and your business (including city or town where located). Be brief; don t let the member or staffer sidetrack the meeting. 4. Talking about issues State your facts. Tell what you want and why your position is the best for your business and the member s constituents. Be sure to mention other groups that you know support your position. Reference personal examples and anecdotes to explain your position wherever possible. If asked a question that you cannot answer, don t make up the answer! Jot down the question, and promise to follow up with the member or staffer. 5. Closing Leave when your time is up. Ask for a commitment from the member to support your position but do not apply pressure or be threatening. Leave behind informative issue papers and industry fact sheets for staffers and legislators. Thank the member or staffer for their time and the meeting. Request follow up as appropriate either in written form or via phone. 8
9 6. After the meeting Write a short thank you letter to both the member of Congress and his or her staff member(s) restating your position and following up on any questions from the meeting. Emphasize that you will be closely monitoring the issue. You may want to personally invite the member and his or her staff on an informal tour of your nursery, landscape, or garden center operation. Summary The economic impact of the green industry is significant. Economic impact data carries weight in the minds of stakeholders. These impacts MUST be used to affect change. Otherwise, what s the point? YOUR voice must be heard! "Ten people who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent." -- Napoleon Bonaparte "Okay, you've convinced me. Now go out there and bring pressure on me." -- President Franklin D. Roosevelt 9
