Regular legislative sessions in Washington are mandated
by the State Constitution and begin the second Monday in January of each year.
Therefore, it has been said that writing letters to our local state
Representatives and Senators can be more effective in the months of October,
November and December, prior to the start of the new legislative session in
January.
Those who make our laws represent us in Olympia. But how can they
represent us unless we let them know what we are thinking? Writing a letter,
sending an email or even a phone call can have a tremendous influence on how
our legislators decide to vote.
We need your help! We ask that you please consider sending a letter
or even a brief email to your local state representative about the importance
of hearing aid insurance coverage for children.
