Attention all Tell Them members in Anderson, Cherokee, Pickens and Spartanburg.
We’re trying to get one last push to your State Senators before the end of the legislative session (Ends June 3rd) and we need your help. We want to remind them one more time that their constituents care about preventing unintended pregnancies and stopping the spread of STIs and HIV.
Please help up by sending a personal note or email by next Wednesday (May 19th, 2010) to your State Senator. Click here to read a sample letter. Be sure to add in a personal story or why these issues mean so much to you.
I’ve added some facts about your area below. If you are unsure about who your State Senator is, please click here. If you would like further statistics or information, feel free to email info@tellthemsc.org.
Once you’ve written your letter, either email it or mail it in. PLEASE BE SURE TO SEND US A COPY (info@tellthemsc.org) so we can keep track of how many people are taking action and sending notes.
Thank you for your help. Just a few more weeks until this session comes to a close.

YEAH Upstate Leaders let them hear your story!
Great sample letter. It would help me to have it in a Word document, so I could copy and paste what I want to use in a emails to my representatives. With the PDF, I have to type it all — which is very time consuming and makes it less likely that I will do it. Thanks for listening. Hope you can help! LG
