Good morning. This message is especially to my Connecticut friends as a call to action. Many of you know I’m involved in public policy issues with the main issue, at this time, being physician assisted suicide.
This dangerous law has been defeated in this state every year since 2013 and last year after it again died in committee, the co-chair stated he would not bring it up this year because the committee makeup is the same and it is a short session year. Well, he didn’t keep his word and coerced a vote to raise this bill again.
There will be a public hearing next Friday, the 13th of March, at the state legislative office building. I will be there again this year to give testimony against it.
If you want to know a little more about this issue, below are websites to browse a little.
I would urge you to write your local state senator and representative to urge them to oppose this. If you feel strongly enough as I do, write or call the Public Health Committee to let them know you oppose this dangerous bill.
Thanks for your time.
