Greetings from the Oklahoma Turning Point Council (OTPC)!

In September of 2015, partners from all over the state convened for OTPC's
Annual Policy Day in Norman and policy objectives were determined for 2016
efforts:

  *   Educate the public and advocate for an increased price for tobacco
products

  *   Educate the public and advocate for policies and programs supporting paid
parental leave

  *   Educate the public and advocate for the increased availability of health
education and resources for schools

Now that the legislative session has started, we need your help in
communicating these priorities to our state legislators.

TAKE ACTION! SIGN OTPC LETTERS OF
SUPPORT!<http://www.okturningpoint.org/policy/>

OTPC is asking our partners to join us in supporting these primary policy
objectives by signing your organization or coalition to the attached Position
Statements and linked Letters of Support by 5 pm on Tuesday, March 15th, 2016.
Please note that there are 3 separate letters and you can sign your
organization or coalition onto each one - signing one does not indicate support
for the other two.

  *   To sign the letter supporting an increase in the cigarette tax, click

  *   To sign the letter supporting paid parental leave, click

  *   To sign the letter supporting school health programs, click
here.<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/965RVHR>

Please help us demonstrate that improving public health in Oklahoma is a
priority!  And feel free to circulate this information and request to other
partners in your communities!  OTPC will be sending Letters of Support to state
legislators in March/April.  Please let us know if you have any questions or
comments.

Thank you!
