Are people interested in participating in a local Preservation Lobby
Day? It seems like something many people on this list serve would be
interested in. 
What does Mass Historic think about the value of lobbying our
politicians in this format? Thanks

IN-DISTRICT PRESERVATION LOBBY DAY! Each  year for the past several
decades, Preservation Action has  coordinated a Lobby Day on Capitol
Hill for preservation  advocates nationwide. This event has grown over
the years, and a few weeks ago during our 2007 Lobby Day, Preservation
Action  had more members than we've ever had lobbying together in our
nation's capitol.  At our  annual meeting this year, our Board expressed
resounding  support for expanding Lobby Day to a program of in-district
events. Getting what we ask for requires more than once-a-year
outreach. The grassroots are more important now than ever in  shaping
Congress's view of who we are and why preservation is  integral to the
communities they represent. We have to show our leadership why
preservation is important in their states  and districts year round ...
and locally!  We have  a new Congress and a world of new opportunities.
Let's make  the most of them!  Help us  build Lobby Day into an
year-long effort accessible to  all preservationists, whether or not
they can make it  to Washington, DC! This year, we're hoping you'll take
part  in a series of Lobby Days in states across the nation,  during
Historic Preservation month in May, specifically the  last week of May
(May 28 - June
1)  when legislators will be back in their districts.  Will you  take
part in an in-district Lobby Day? Let me know  today! Either  email at
hmacintosh at preservationaction.org
<mailto:hmacintosh at preservationaction.org>
; or  call the office at 202-637-7873. We'll  provide more information
about in-district Lobby Days  soon. Best  wishes -- Heather  MacIntosh
