2013 MGM Bill Submission State Office Guidelines

 

Join MGMbill.org on Monday, January 14, 2013 when we resubmit our MGM Bill proposals to Congress and state legislatures around the country (or if you prefer, you may submit your state's bill proposal on Saturday, January 12th, or Sunday, January 13th).

 

If you have access to a personal computer, you can become a temporary MGMbill.org state office by emailing or faxing (via computer) an MGM Bill proposal to every member of your state legislature.

 

Currently there are MGM Bill proposals available for 46 states. If you live in a state without an MGM Bill proposal, we will write one for you so you can submit it to your legislators. We will also provide you with a suggested cover letter to include with your bill.

 

As a temporary state office, you would be responsible for all costs to submit the bill. If your legislators are accessible by email or unrestricted webmail forms then you may not incur any costs at all. But if your legislators use ZIP code restricted webmail forms, you will probably want to fax the bill. Below is a sample cost estimate for faxing an average size state legislature via jBlast:

 

Sample Cost Estimate for Faxing 150 legislators
Total pages to fax: 600 pages (150 legislators x 4 pages per legislator)
Cost per page: $0.06 (requires MS Word and MS Excel)
Total cost: $36.00  ($0.06 per page x 600 pages)

 

If some (but not all) of your legislators have email addresses, you may need to do a combination of emailing and faxing.

 

After you submit the bill proposal, your job as a temporary MGMbill.org state office will be complete and you will have no further obligations. But, you can become a temporary state office for the next MGM Bill submission if you choose to do so.

 

 

 

 

If you are interested in becoming a temporary MGMbill.org state office, please email us at comments@mgmbill.org.

 

Please include your full name, age (if under 18), and city & state of residence, along with a few details about how you became involved with the issue of circumcision.
