As individuals, we often have little influence over the decisions made on our behalf in our state capital and Washington D.C.. But together, we can have a strong voice to encourage the critical issues that affect us all: sound public policies to fight tobacco use, educate and ensure quality health care for those with lung diseases like asthma and COPD, and promote air quality through our Idaho legislators and representatives.
Our success in achieving these objectives depends on the number of people we can get involved in the legislative process.
