We already have 15 signed proclamations and many more on their way from governors across the U.S. We still need the support of in-state individuals and organizations from ALABAMA, ALASKA, KANSAS, LOUISIANA, NEW YORK, and SOUTH DAKOTA. If you or someone you know is from any of these states, please ask them to submit a proclamation request online or call their governor’s office to voice their support for Pollinator Week 2015. Feel free to use the sample proclamation text available at </span><a href="http://pollinator.org/npw_action.htm"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">http://pollinator.org/npw_action.htm</span></a><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">.
