I used to be terrified of it, but it is like everything else, it takes practice. I would encourage people to just go ahead and let themselves be heard. The main thing when speaking on a bill is for the politician to know which way you lean and that you cared enough to come and speak and always be respectful. This year I asked one of our members to come and speak to a committee. Karen tried to tell me she couldn't, but I talked her into it, and it turned out great. The Chairperson called her up after the hearing. You have to be heard to make a difference.

Gotta give them something to remember after listening to the same monotonous verbal testimony for hours on end. Typically, you get 3 minutes or less for testimony and they don't allow any props. 90 seconds in Legislative committees is common. If I get asked questions I figure I have really scored. Often times legislators aren't even listening, even leaving the room at times but they do have a staffer counting yes/no. The only people they might let do a power point are agency staff. The way it is in WA.
