subsequently\u00a0discovered that all members of the Transportation Committee, currently looking at this Senate Bill, were not on the AMA contact list. \u00a0So we now are asking every one to pick up the phone and call all the members of this committee. \u00a0This action should take no more than 15 minutes of your time. \u00a0Why so little? \u00a0When you call you will reach a staff member and you will need to tell them your&#8217;re opposed to SB 249. \u00a0They will take your name and there is no reason to go into detail. \u00a0The office keeps records of the number of people that call to oppose the bill and this will have an impact on how the Committee members looks at the bill. \u00a0To use an old Clich\u00e9 &#8220;United we stand &#8211; Divided we fall&#8221;!<\/p>\n<p><span
