Subject: [MainstreetManagers] OK Advocacy ltr
Hello all,

 

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.    Please check the attached packet to ensure your name and program 
information is correct.  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. 

 

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. 

 

Other actions at this time:

·         I encourage you be knowledgeable of this proposal enough to be able 
to summarize the request and be prepared to discuss the need in your community 
to support programming and businesses in the recovery of COVID-19.

·         Inform your local representatives of the effort. [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?]

·         I hope to meet with a staffer from Senator Lankford’s office at a 
legislation breakfast next Tuesday morning to hand deliver this letter and 
proposal packet and invite/suggest a meeting with their appropriations issues 
staff to discuss further. 

 

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. 

 

Again, please take a look at the attached and let me know of your approval 
ASAP . . . by the end of today, preferably.  

 

Have a great weekend!

Vicki
