3) Read from this call script, and include a personal example if you have one -
I am calling about House Bill #4725 and Senate Bill #2848 on Supported Decision Making.
Supported Decision Making is an alternative to guardianship and this bill would make SDM available to people who want it.
It's important to pass this bill so people with all abilities can have their rights back and express themselves to the best of their ability with the support they need.
It’s important that if a person needs help or reassurance making a decision that they get it and not blocked from it.
This bill helps us get the support we choose so we can make our own decisions. We have the power to speak for ourselves.
If you have a personal example make sure you share your personal story of how you are involved with SDM, or why this is important to you.
Example of a personal story: I got involved in SDM in 2017 because it would make a difference for people with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities to have a voice about changes in their lives. What they want to accomplish in their lives can be said by them, and those around them. For example - all of you speaking to me use SDM everyday. Like when you want to pass a bill, or communicate amongst yourselves about changes that you want made.
Please help us pass House Bill #4725 and Senate Bill #2848. Thank you in advance for all of your hard work and for making a difference for people with disabilities like myself!
Leave your info with the person if they want to follow-up.
