<p><span style="font-family: Century Gothic,sans-serif; " data-style-orig="font-family:Century Gothic,sans-serif">Hello all,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Century Gothic,sans-serif; " data-style-orig="font-family:Century Gothic,sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Century Gothic,sans-serif; " data-style-orig="font-family:Century Gothic,sans-serif">I just received the approval of our OK advocacy letter to Senator Lankford. As I mentioned in our zoom meeting this morning, this initial contact is specifically to Senator Lankford, as he is a member of the appropriations committee. <span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow; " data-style-orig="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">Please check the attached packet to ensure your name and program information is correct.</span> Also, please respond to this message your approval to be included as a “sign on”. I included all programs in my draft and will remove any names who either do not respond or request to be removed. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Century Gothic,sans-serif; " data-style-orig="font-family:Century Gothic,sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Century Gothic,sans-serif; " data-style-orig="font-family:Century Gothic,sans-serif">In my outreach to you for examples of how our MS programs are addressing and busting through COVID-19, I was greatly encouraged by your creativity and resilience. Although this letter only allowed for a few, you all are doing great things. I was inspired and feel that our legislators will be also. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Century Gothic,sans-serif; " data-style-orig="font-family:Century Gothic,sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Century Gothic,sans-serif; " data-style-orig="font-family:Century Gothic,sans-serif">Other actions at this time:</span></p>

[I will be talking to our local House Representative, Jay Steagall today just to let him know of the proposal. [Why not let the information come from us?]</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: Century Gothic,sans-serif; " data-style-orig="font-family:Century Gothic,sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Century Gothic,sans-serif; " data-style-orig="font-family:Century Gothic,sans-serif">We hope these are just the beginning steps for opening this conversation and look to a future call with our Senator and Patrice Frey as an ultimate goal in this effort. I anticipate in the future that our efforts will include additional letters to other elected officials once this proposal moves to action. </span></p>
