Contact Your Elected Officials

The Choose Life license plate must be approved by the Texas Legislature, which will convene in January 2009. House Bill (H.B.) 109 was pre-filed on November 10, 2008, by State Rep. Larry Phillips (R-Sherman) and its companion bill in the Senate will be pre-filed soon by Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr. (D-Brownsville). Now is the time to contact key members.

Your input can make an enormous difference! Often only a few letters, emails, or phone calls can propel a bill to victory.

Here is everything you need to know to contact the right elected officials and what message to send to them:

Dear ______________________

Please support a bill to create a Choose Life specialty license plate in Texas during the next state legislative session beginning in January 2009.

The Choose Life plate would send a wonderful message that promotes compassionate alternatives to abortion, including adoption, and it would raise funds to help pregnant women experiencing crisis pregnancies.

The Choose Life license plates have been very successful in many other states, including Arkansas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. Nineteen states already have a Choose Life license plate, and many more are working on getting it. Over 400,000 plates have been sold or renewed raising millions of dollars to help pregnant moms.

I ask that you commit to seeing that the Choose Life license plate becomes a reality in Texas.

Sincerely,

Your name
