Sandy, Thank you for speaking out with such an eloquent response and for reminding us to let our representatives know that we want them to pass this proposed legislation. Tweets -- Please take the time to let your senators and representatives know that you support this bill.

The bill: http://www.leg.wa.gov/pub/billinfo/2007-08/Pdf/Bills/Senate%20Bills/5188-S2.pdf.
Here's how to find your senators in order to write to them: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/DistrictFinder/Default.aspx

When you write, be sure to include your representatives in the House as they will probably vote on it in order for it to finally pass. I don't see a deadline for comments but our letters will become part of the official record for the upcoming hearing.
