For instance, two key, influential lawmakers whose support would be very helpful to this EV legislative initiative and crucial to winning its ultimate passage in the House are Rep. Dean Cannon of Winter Park, who is in line to be the next Speaker, in 2010, and Ellyn Bogdanoff of Fort Lauderdale, the Majority Whip. The single best way to get legislators onboard would be for them to hear from their constituents on this, urging them to support Rep. Hasner's EV legislative initiative, by receiving emails and letters from citizens in their districts, like our FLEAA members Hugh Webber in Rep. Cannon's district of Winter Park and Paul Renneisen in Rep. Bogdanoff's district in Fort Lauderdale. Emails are good, and written letters are even better. Best would be both, an email followed up by a written letter, sent to the legislator's district office, not to his or her Tallahassee office, as they won't be in Tallahassee until March.
We need a lot of help in trying to build political support for this in North Florida as well, including in the Panhandle, from our members up there.

I truly hope that we can start getting support from our State Reps. and Senators on EVs. I think Hasner's focus on EVs will help make things happen here FL. I would encourage all of our members to contact their State Reps and encourage them to support Hasner in this initiative.
