MEMORANDUM REGARDINGPUBLIC DISCLOSUREREQUIREMENTS

FROM: Dennis Eagle, Director of Legislative and Political Action

Previous to each session of the Washington State Legislature questions are raisedconcerning the rights of state employees to contact their legislators. This sessionis no exception and, in order to clear up any questions, we have prepared the fol-lowing statement that outlines the legal rights of employees in such matters:

At the request of several members and staff, we have contacted the PublicDisclosure Commission regarding the obligations of a state employee toreport contact with legislators.

A state employee who writes, phones, or in some way contacts his/her ownlegislators, or other legislators on matters of concern to him/her as a con-stituent and/or citizen is not obligated to report that contact.

The only obligation an employee has to report contact with individual leg-islators may occur when that employee contacts legislators on an of cialmatter where the state employee is acting on behalf of his/her employingagency and on of cial agency matters, or where a legislator contacts anemployee under the same circumstances. Where an employee has contactwith legislators under these circumstances the employee should check withhis/her supervisor on any reporting requirements.

It should be clearly understood that a citizen who happens to be employedby the state is free to express his/her right to contact his/her legislators orother legislators, at any level (local/county/state/federal) and express his/

her concerns, comments or opinions on legislative matters.We remind you that when you contact legislators, you must do it on yourown time and not using any state resources. Phone calls should be fromyour personal phone. E-mails should be from home computers.

I hope this is helpful in answering any questions. If you need additional informa-tion, please feel free to give me a call at 1-800-562-6002.

MEMBER LOBBYING

Effective member lobbying starts with understanding howlegislators work and think.

Legislators face unique pressures

Legislators simply do not have enough time to1.do everything they would like to do.Legislators deal with thousands of bills; they2.cast votes on hundreds of bills; and they cantpossibly know the details of each one.There are more than 1,000 registered lobbyists,3.and countless more citizen lobbyists - all vyingfor a Legislators time, attention and vote.

Legislators are accountable to thousands of 4.constituents back home.

Legislators are forced to prioritize andpecialize

Legislators only have time to really dig into a1.few issues, so they tend to specialize.On their issues they hope their colleagues2.will follow their lead and, in turn, they followthe lead of members they trust that special-ize in other issues.Its hard for a legislator to go against the spe-3.cialist from his or her own caucus.

Legislators face demands from their eadership

The leadership of the majority caucus controls1.the calendar and agenda.Individual legislators cant overcome leader-2.ship decisions.The hardest thing for a new legislator to adjust3.to is that they really dont have a lot of say inwhat happens.

Legislators want to be helpful- its their natureLegislators want to serve their constituents, butthere is a limit to what they can do. As memberlobbyists we can help them by:

Providing a speci c and realistic request.

Heeding their advice on ways that will to pro-mote our issues.Following up with them and keeping them inthe loop.

You can expect legislators to:

Listen.Offer advice.Be candid.Provide insight.Keep you posted, if you ask.

You cant expect legislators to:

Make you their highest priority.

Communicate all the time.Remember all the details.Be able to give you more than 15minutes.Read a document or report.

MEMBER LOBBYING

How to communicate effectively with legislators.

Summarize, summarize, summarize

You can only expect to meet with your legisla-1.tor for 15 minutes or less during the session.

Ask for a speci c action.2.Keep your message focused and positive.3.Make sure you have time to listen to your leg-4.islators thoughts, ideas and concerns.Provide a one-page handout to help your legis-5.lator keep track of your issue(s).

Public testimony

Prepare before the hearing.1.Make it real; tell your story.2.Keep it to three (3) minutes or less.3.Dont repeat what others have said.4.Provide staff with a one-page handout.5.Remember - public testimony is one of the6.least effective means of communication withlegislators.

Lobby all year, every year.

Invest yourself in campaigns for WFSE/1.AFSCME-supported candidates in your area.

Interim meetings with legislators are far more2. effective than meetings during session.Invite your legislators to a local meeting or to3.your worksite when they are not in session.Be prepared for the long haul; major challeng-4.es can take years to pass.To be effective, you must have a sustained5.presence.

Forms of communication with legislators

Most effective:Work on their campaign.Meet with them during the interim.Meet with them during the session.Personal letters and emails.Messages left for them on the Legislative Hol-tine.Public hearings.Having a sustained presence - being thereearly and often.

Least effective:Form letters.Generic post cards.

Petitions.Spam.Out-of-district correspondence.Rallies or other one and donedemonstrations.

ts important to get our message out.

More important, you can play a key role in counteringnti-state employee messages through letters to theditors and comments/responses to media stories and

blogs.

Believe it or not, many media sources run news andopinion pieces that support our point of view; a letteror blog posting in support is also important.

f you see nasty (or nice) editorials or letters that needebutting, let us know at info@wfse.org. Many local

weekly newspapers may not turn up on electronic andhard-copy clipping servicesor may not turn up in aimely fashion.

Or write your own letter to the editor or respond if anonline response box or blog is available.

MESSAGING

OUR GENERAL MESSAGE:

Your letter or blog posting depends on what you areresponding to. But the general message is to support abudget that includes adequate new revenue and theclosure of some of the billions in tax loopholes. With-

out that combination, lawmakers will take the roadof least resistancefurther cuts along the lines of thegovernors Book I all-cuts budget released in De-cember 2009.

Here is a summary of some of the key points used inguest editorials our union has already written re-sponding to calls to close institutions, cut programs,take away our step increases and send our health costinto the stratosphere:

My union represents some 40,000 state employeesand often lawmakers look to target them rst. Asconvenient a target as state and other public em-ployees are, we have already sacri ced signi cantly to help rebuild our economy. Weve given up $1billion in pay raises and pension fund constribu-tion, higher bene ts costs and layoffs.

It is clear we have reached a de ning momentfor our generation. We need to raise revenue and

close appropriate tax loopholes. There are numer-ous ways to equitably raise revenue. Similarly, of the $98.5 billion in tax exemptions given in thisstate, $14.8 billion could easily be eliminated orsuspended.

Letters to editors should be factual, be respectful tothe audience (its not their fault an editorial writeror talk show host got it wrong), and speak from theheart.

To most in the media, state employees and unionmembers are nameless, faceless entities and there-fore are easy to target. If you write a letter or post ablog comment that talks about your everyday humanstruggles as a parent or member of the community,legislators will have a harder time sticking it to you.

Support a budget that includes ad-equate new revenue and closing of some of the billions in tax loopholes.

State workers have already sacrifced:$650 million in state worker compensa- tion and health benefts have alreadybeen cut.

$300 million in state worker pensioncontributions have been diverted to pay

for General Fund programs.4,700 state workers will be laid off by July 2010.

Major agency programs have beendecimated.
