Sign-Ons
"Sign-on" is a term used to characterize certain policy positions. Often one or more organizations, like ours, will seek to develop a policy position or position on a particular piece of legislation. To increase the impact and effectiveness of that position, once developed, it is circulated among other organizations and groups having a similar interest in that given policy area.
A consensus position is developed among these various groups, allowing them to sign-on to a policy or legislative position. That letter or policy statement is then sent to Congress and it becomes a more effective way to communicate a position because of the combined effect of all groups that join in that stand. We use this mechanism as means of gaining greater attention for a policy or legislative position. We have joined in communicating the following positions.:
