Feb. 2008 - Two bills are now in the Legislature calling for a constitutional convention for Alabama. One is HB 308 sponsored by Speaker Pro Tem Demetrius Newton and 18 of his colleagues from both sides of the aisle. The other is SB 243 sponsored by Senator Ted Little and 15 of his colleagues from both sides of the aisle.

Our job right now is to contact our representatives and senators and ask them to vote in favor of SB 243 and HB 308.

Letters to Legislators [Sample Letter]
Write to your legislators and ask them to vote for bills that will be offered in the 2008 Legislative Session that will call for a constitutional convention.  Look up the address of your legislators at www.legislature.state.al.us.  Be polite, let them know you appreciate their service.  Shorter is better.  Keep to the issues and not personalities.  Be specific.  Do not threaten.
