Salem 97303 A pproxim ately 2,500 b ills have been proposed fo r consideration by the 61st Oregon Legislature! W hat legislators are faced w ith are more demands than ever before fo r pieces o f a recession- shrinking, budgetary pie. Among th is volume o f pending le g is la tio n is OSEA’s 1981 package. We w ill need to work hard to draw attention to our sp e cific interests. OSEA s ta ff m ust continue to build legislative support on a daily basis. OSEA mem bers m ust realize th a t th e ir e ffo rts w ill make real im pact on c ritic a l issues and that the greater th e ir par tic ip a tio n , the larger w ill be our piece o f the pie. ASSISTANT t>Tne ASMSPWT DIRECTOR 3*1 «€4evít£ Ra<sw«V í kVAsrc Much o f the ground w ork fo r our lobbying e ffo rt is already accom plished, because o f our on-going governm ent relations work. Since the last session, OSEA has m aintained dialogues w ith every incum bent legislator. We have worked in over 50 w inning cam paigns and we have com m unicated our concerns to the 18 newly elected legislators. So we begin th is session well prepared. But much remains to be done. The management o f our in terest w ill require dally par tic ip a tio n as we help guide our la w m a k e r s th ro u g h th e legislative process. Inform ation w ill be required by legislators. Testim ony w ill be requested by many com m ittees. As I w ork in the C apitol th is session, I w ill be assisted by Eric Parker, w ho w ill w ork on retirem ent issues. These efforts by OSEA s ta ff w ill help us attain our goals, but more is needed. A strong and e ffective lobbying e ffo rt w ill require the com m itm ent and participation of OSEA m em bers from throughout the state. Your letters, your phone calls, and your in sig h t are m ost ef fective to o ls when presented to le g is la to rs fro m y o u r ow n d is tric t. You represent a strong voting block, as w ell as a vast in fo rm a tio n re s o u rc e and le g is la to rs understand these facts. To provide additional lobby strength, com m ittees are being organized to such address questions as changes in W orker C om pensation laws and ad ju stm e n ts to the retirem ent system . If you are interested in jo in in g these com m ittee efforts, please call Eric or m yself. During the course o f th is leg islative session, you may want to com m unicate d ire ctly w ith your Senator or Representative. If you do, here are some helpful h in ts to increase your impact. • A ll le g is la to rs can be reached at the fo llo w in g address: The Honorable ___________ State (Senator) (Representative) State C apitol B uilding Salem, Oregon 97310 • Have your facts together, and when possible make sp e cific reference to b ill numbers and so on. • A threatening tone is likely to produce only alienation, and w ill do your cause no good. • The thoughts expressed in any le tte r should be in your own w ords; avoid d u p lic a te d or mimeographed letters. • Do not, under any c ir cum stances, use state materials or tim e in preparing your letter. If I can be o f fu rth e r assistance to you, do not hesitate to call. Remember, your participation is im portant and our com bined e ffo rt can have sig n ific a n t im pact in gaining a larger piece o f the pie. C huck M endenhall Governm ent R elations D irector 3.
