GrassRoots Prompts

For the past four years, GrassRoots has sent bookmarks to each legislator at the beginning of the session. These bookmarks are prompts for legislators to think about before they vote on a bill:


Sound Legislation Prompts

BEFORE VOTING, ASK YOURSELF: Have I read and understand the bill, and DOES THIS LEGISLATIVE ACTION…

· Increase taxes or fees?

· Expand the role or size of government?

· Create more dependency on government?

· Take away personal responsibility?

· Take away the rights of parents?

· Take away the right of individual choice?

· Stifle private prosperity?

· Contradict the right to life?

· Erode private property rights?

· Create inequality under the law?

· Is this a possible violation of the U.S. and/or Utah Constitution?

IF THE ANSWER IS YES TO ANY OF THE ABOVE, GRASSROOTS SUGGESTS A ‘NO’ VOTE.
