Final Push!
Greetings,
We are now in the home stretch of
our stadium effort. The 2006 legislative session must end by May
22nd, so we have less than a week left to ensure that
a Gopher stadium bill gets passed. The Senate has already
appointed five members to the Gopher stadium conference
committee and the House are expected to appoint their members
soon. This group will work to find a compromise between the
different versions of a Gopher stadium bill passed by the House
and Senate.
This is a
critical time, as the next few days will
decide the ultimate fate of a new campus stadium at the
University of Minnesota. We need
everyone’s help during this final push to ensure a stadium
bill gets passed this year!
Please contact your
legislators and tell them to pass a Gopher stadium
bill this week that the governor will sign!
Let your legislators know that this is the time
for action and ask them to help bring Gopher football back to
campus.
Send an email to your
legislators by clicking on the "Take Action" icon below or going
to: http://ga4.org/campaign/contact_leg.
It’s crunch time and we
need to get as many phone calls and emails as possible
into legislators' offices. Please ask your friends, family,
and other university supporters to contact their legislators as
well. If all goes well, this will be
the last time we will ask you to contact your legislators about
the Gopher stadium!
We sincerely appreciate all of
your hard work over the past few years. For the latest
information and a full list of conference committee members once
they are announced, please visit our website: www.umn.edu/stadium or
contact us at stadium@umn.edu.
Send a letter to the following decision maker(s):
Your Representative (if you live in Minnesota)
Your State Senator (if you live in Minnesota)
Below is the sample letter:
