Request to Speak System

The Arizona legislature is now in session and AzCDL will soon be sending out Action Alerts regarding important bills that will be heard in committee. The Request to Speak (RTS) system is one of the most effective ways to let your voice be heard in the legislature!

An important part of getting a bill through the state legislature is hearing it in various committees. Bills are often assigned to one or more committees where they will be heard by the committee members and the public will have an opportunity to comment in support or opposition of the bill. Bills that are approved by the committees to which they are assigned will move forward while those that fail are said to have, "died in committee," and will receive no further consideration. There are two ways to comment on a bill, either in-person or by sending a message to the committee electronically. Both methods are accomplished using the Request to Speak system. RTS is a system set up by the state legislature to allow constituents to communicate with their legislators and to request the opportunity to address committee members directly. You do NOT have to speak before a committee in-person in order to use RTS. RTS is not run by AzCDL but it is a valuable tool in our arsenal, so it's critically important that as many AzCDL members as possible have an RTS account and use it to provide feedback to our senators and representatives.

If you DO have an RTS account, please log into it and make sure that you are able to access the system. If you cannot access your existing account, first try to reset your password using the tools provided on the RTS login page. If your email address has changed since last session, you will need a new account (please follow the instructions below to have a new account created). If you are still unable to log in and navigate within the RTS application, your account may have gone inactive and must be reactiviated at an RTS terminal. Reply to this e-mail or contact Tom Woodrow for assistance. We will need your account e-mail address and password in order to reactivate your account. Once active, you can change your account password as desired. --- If you DO NOT have an RTS account, AzCDL can help you set one up. Although you can use RTS from any Internet-capable computer, tablet or smartphone, new accounts must be created on the RTS terminals located in Phoenix at the state Capitol or in Tucson at the satellite office. In order to help set up your account, we will need to know the e-mail address you would like associated with the account. Please do not attempt to create an account on your own computer or device as the account will not be active. If you have already done so, we can activate the account for you but we will need to know the e-mail address and RTS account password you used to create it. Once the account is activated, you can then change your password to another one of your choosing.

If you need to set up an RTS account or if your account needs to be reactivated, reply to this e-mail or contact Tom Woodrow.
