Bookmark These Important Web Sites
KEA encourages all its members to make the web site of the Legislative Research Commission one of their "favorites" or "bookmarks": http://www.lrc.state.ky.us/home.htm
On the right side of the LRC page you will find links to the week's legislative calendar, a list of senators and representatives, make-up of committees, and important phone numbers. On the left side you will find a link to "Meetings Schedules and Visitor Information" which includes the status of all bills and the calendar for the entire legislative session.
Also bookmark KEA's Keep Kentucky Learning web site www.keepkentuckylearning.org, where KEA will put all its legislative information. There and on the KEA home page, www.kea.org, you can find a link to email your legislator.
You can also find important information via toll-free phone calls:
Bill Status Line at 866.840.2835 and Calendar Line at 800.633.9650.
Keep in Touch with Your Legislators
KEA encourages each of its members to get to know their own state senators and state representatives.
If you do not know who your senator or representative is, you can find out by using the "contact your legislator" link on www.keepkentuckylearning.org . Also check the LRC web site to see if which committees your legislators serve on. If they are members of either the education committee or A&R committee, it is especially important for you to be in close contact so legislators will know the views from the front lines of public schools.
You can leave a message for all legislators through the LRC's toll-free message line: 800.372.7181. Most important, KEA encourages you to contact legislators when they are home on the weekends.
