Smith: I want your ideas for the 2012 Legislative Session!
I sent this message out before the start of the 2011 session and I felt it was important to send it to you again before the start of the upcoming 2012 session.

Simply tell me in a few sentences what you like or dislike about an issue and what you would like to see done to change it.
