Laser Talk Here’s an example: October 2015 RESULTS National Conference Call/Webinar Slides 21 Engage the audience: The House has an opportunity to show leadership, potentially saving 15 million children’s lives and 600,000 mother’s lives by State the problem: There is a limited timeframe during which we can make the reforms necessary to insure U.S. investments in global health have their greatest impact. Inform on the solution: This is why we’d like the representative to cosponsor The Reach Act, H.R It’s a bipartisan bill which will enshrine the kind of smart, compassionate policy language we need. Call to action: Would the representative consider cosponsorship?
