the Louisiana COS team to build relationships with our state legislators and find out their stance on our Article V project.  The following steps will help you in completing the task.\\ \\ Please go here to [[https://www.legis.la.gov/legis/findmylegislators.aspx|find your legislators]]. Under the “Legislators” button, click on your legislator’s name for their contact information. Call your legislator’s office for an appointment before April 10 (the start of the legislative session).\\ \\ Make copies of the following documents and read them carefully.  You will give a copy of the information to your legislators. We suggest putting the materials in a folder or binder for a more professional appearance. You may use dividers before each item. Leave the folder or binder with your legislators.\\ \\     1.
