Subject: Texas Consumer Voices Needed - You Can Help

Consumer Voices Needed

Consumer voices are giving insurance and corporate lobbyists a run for their money in the Texas Legislature, reminding legislators of their needs and expectations.

Several courageous lawmakers waged a tough battle to expose the way House Bill 4, the "Corporate Immunity Act of 2003," harms every Texas community, family and small business. In the face of special interest dominance, severely restricted debate and cloaked proceedings, these lawmakers came forward to ensure the voices of their communities were represented in this critical debate-not just the voices of special interests.

At the same time, key Senators are working to ensure Senate Bill 14 delivers for insurance consumers-not insurance companies. Senate Bill 14 falls far short of the comprehensive insurance reform promised by legislators and expected by consumers. Key Senators are standing firm to deliver the comprehensive insurance reform consumers need.

I encourage you to visit www.fixtexasinsurance.org to keep up with the latest legislative activities and make your voice is heard to make sure the Legislature is meeting your needs-not the needs of special interests.

Sincerely,

Dan LambeExecutive Director
