Great news! The House version of the Respectful Language Bill, which has

already passed the House, has been posted for hearing in the Senate Health

and Human Services Committee! We now have the best chance ever of getting

the bill voted out of the Senate HHS Committee to the Senate to get voted on

and then it would go to the Governor.

Please come show your support for the bill! Many of you have attended in the

past and we definitely need you to come back. Thank you so much. I'm sure

there are many more who haven't made it to a hearing but support the bill.

Well, if you've ever thought about doing something to show you support for

the bill this is the best time possible. We would like to pack the hearing

room with supporters so that the committee can see how important this issue

is to all of us in Texas. Trust me when I say it does make a difference! The

more people there the better! I don't believe testimony will be taken and if

it is there will be plenty there to provide that so all you would have to do

is sign a witness card that says you support the bill and sit back and watch

history be made. Filling out a witness card is very easy to do and there

will be many who will be happy to help.

I don't want to be doom and gloom but the fact is that if we can't get the

bill voted out of the Senate HH & S Committee the bill will die again and we

will have to wait two more years for the chance to get the bill passed into

law. There is no doubt this is our best chance.

Hearing details:

Health & Human Services Committee

9:00, Thursday, May 12, 2011

Hearing Room E1.016

The hearing room is easy to find. It's on the first floor of the capitol

extension building just past the cafeteria on the right. To get there go

into the main capitol building to the elevators. Go down to E1. Walk down

the corridor past the cafeteria and when you get to open air rotunda the

hearing room will be on the immediate right.

Parking can be found at the Capitol Visitor Parking Garage located at 13th

St and San Jacinto. The first two hours of parking is free and very cheap

after that. We expect the bill to be one of the first heard in committee so

it shouldn't take long.

I've attached a map to find the parking garage and of the capitol extension

building. If you have any questions feel free to call before or the day of.

Please attend the hearing if you can. We really need to show our support for

this bill if we want to get it passed. It's time for Texas to get this bill

passed. We need to get this done now.

Thank you,

Gerard
