Testimony needed at Hawaii state capitol

Jackie Mishler, of Hawaii Physicians for Compassionate Care, sends out an urgent plea to anyone in her state:

If we can stop the bill to legalize Physician Assisted Suicide in committee now, PAS is unlikely to come to hearing again this year.  Please attend the hearing in person for maximum effectiveness.

The Senate Health Committee will hear testimony on SB803 on Monday, Feb 7 at 2:45 PM in the Capitol auditorium.  This bill would legalize Physician Assisted Suicide.  Testimony is due by Sunday, the 6th, by 4:00 PM.  If you miss the Sunday deadline, please send on Monday anyway.  

If you cannot attend, testimony by email or fax also helps. 

• Email - (copy and paste this into your web browser): http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/emailtestimony/ 
• Fax - Sgt at Arms, 586-6659; Toll Free 1-800-586-6659.  Identify hearing as: SB803, Feb 7, 2011, 2:45 PM,  Senate Health Hearing, Capitol auditorium

When you send your testimony, please identify yourself, state your position (I oppose SB803), and tell them why you feel this would be a bad bill for you, your loved ones, or the State of Hawaii. If you are coming to the hearing, please send testimony as well. Remember, EVERY testimony counts!
