We need to show how important this is to our livelihood.  We need outside companies to come to Ohio in order to increase the number of jobs available…they need incentives to come here.

Tell EVERYONE you know.  Increased film production will benefit not just the filmmakers themselves, but other businesses as well; hotels, restaurants, retail stores, grocery stores, … even laundromats.  Be sure to include this information in your letter.
