Common cause believes that, as a minimum, the legislature should pass the contents of the 2007 session

• HB 818
• HB 821
• HB 822

Common Cause hopes that all readers will contact their legislators urging the passage of the content of these bills. The session will be short. Do it now. Contact information and suggested talking points are available here.
