The Senate 2009 capital investment bill cleared its final committee on March 12th, and is scheduled for a full Senate vote on March 16th. The $367.5 million bill includes $59 million in bonding for the University, between the Bell Museum of Natural History and HEAPR projects. Your support is needed today to remind senators of the importance of this funding.
| Sample Letter for Campaign |
Subject: Please Support the U of M's Bonding Request
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
The Senate Finance Committee has just passed its supplemental bonding bill for 2009, which includes funding for the U of M's HEAPR request as well as the Bell Museum. I hope you will give this bill your support when it comes to the Senate floor for a vote.
The U's supplemental bonding projects will help the U sustain valuable properties and invest in science education, and will help the state in the process. These projects will provide new jobs for out-of-work Minnesotans, giving immediate and long-term value to the dollars invested today.
Thank you for your time and support of the University of Minnesota. Please remember the importance of this bonding bill as it makes its way through the Senate.
Sincerely,
|
