PLEASE use your own words. Sample Script:

Dear Rep. Xyz,

Regardless of the substitute, I believe this is still a very dangerous bill. An amendment nor a substitute can fix HB 1165. Please vote NO on HB 1165.

With more than 100 pages, this bill is not a standard update to the UCC language.

Redefines “money, “person” and adds other concerning language such as “biometrics”

The argument that Missouri will be left is coercive language and a major red flag. We do not need these changes. DO NOT VOTE yes on something you do not fully understand. DO NOT trust the bill sponsor to tell you what it means.

VOTE NO

Please CALL and EMAIL these Representatives now.
