Definitely Bring

  • At least two clipboards with enough copies of the petition for AB 700 from the Materials section of for the group you'll be speaking to.
  • Pens for the clipboards.
  • A copy of the "We Support AB 700" example endorsement form for the group to sign (or example Resolution if they are a political party club).

  • The knowledge you've let CCMC's office know in advance about your speech!

If You Have More Than a Few Minutes, Also Bring

Handout Packets for All Attendees

Enough pre-made handout packets for everybody who's likely to attend the speech. These should be paper-clipped together and either placed on people's seats in advance or handed out at the beginning of questions. Each paper-clipped packet should include:

  • At least the front page of the Two-Page overview (use the ones for Democrats or the ones for Republicans if you’re in a partisan club)
  • A petition for AB 700
  • An“I Support”form
  • A CCMC reply envelope (if you have them).
  • A copy of the one-page “Take Action to Pass the CA DISCLOSE Act!” sheet, updated with the name of the local Assemblymember (email for any updates). If you include this, ideally include a blank page and envelope for them to write the letter with.

Save a couple of minutes at the end of Q&A to walk through the packets. Tell them briefly:

(1) How important it is that write a hand-written letter (described on the Take Action sheet)

(2) Ask them to get a few of their friends and family to sign the petition and mail/fax it in.

(3) Tell them we’re a grassroots-driven campaign, so ask them to fill out the I Support sheet with their volunteer interests checked, and say how helpful it would be if they’d make a donation or become a member of the California Clean Money Campaign
