We Believe We Vote

Tips & talking points for talking to legislators about 5395.
By phone:
1.The toll-free line, the message only goes to your legislators & the governor, not what you want.
2. The phone # of each legislator: http://leg.wa.gov/House/Representatives/Pages/default.aspx

By email: Use same list for emails & email the whole group with 1 message.
• Ask for the Rep. to reply, they may not if they think you are not in their district.
What to say:
• Give an explanation or say “I want the representative to vote no against bill 5395”
• Other talking points:
o I believe that the teaching standard of this legislation is incorrect for any grades below 8th (or your choice)
o I believe that the CSE based curriculum will increase the safety & health risks to the children who use it.
o I believe that this subject matter should have only a limited exposure in the school system at all since it is better dealt with in a parent child relationship.
o This is an unfunded mandate & will negatively affect many smaller districts in the state.
o I believe that this method is the inappropriate solution to a social problem that should not be mandated by the state.
o States do not want the federal government to mandate blanket inflexible rulings & local communities should have the same protections from State overreach.
o Even though OSPI has stated that there are curriculum choices for district to choose, that is not a true statement since all options are base on CSE standard, which are wrong & need to be redone.
o I believe the implementation of the legislation & the accompanying curriculum will have other negative unforeseen results & it should not be instituted without small test group study to see if the objectives are meet before large scale implementation.
