Last year, we had a toll-free number to call and record a message which was put on a CD and delivered to state legislators.

Messages from taxpayers filled six 80-minute audio CDs, which were delivered to every state representative and senator, one disk a week for six consecutive weeks.

That program has ended, but you can still sound off.

Visit our YouTube group to submit a video message.

Here are the ground rules for participating in the “Virtual Listening Session”:

• You must be a private sector citizen  (you cannot work for the government or be employed by an agency that receives government funding)
• Your message must be no longer than two minutes in length.
• You must begin your message by stating your full name, your home town and your employer.
• No offensive language will be allowed.
