CAHCF Newswire - 08/17/2012 (Plain Text Version)Grassroots Lobbying
We cannot stress enough how important it is for you to get elected officials and candidates into your facilities to hear your story. This past primary election cycle you did a great job when we asked for your assistance. The general election is only months away, so you may expect more activity. Please, please, please..., when we or an elected official/candidate contact you to set up a visit, do what you can to make that happen. It's your opportunity!
