Students prepared for the presentation by reading all the materials in Roppy's Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist Laws Class, available through the POCA Department of Education.

- Tracking bills going through our state legislatures
- Knowing who represents us at the state level and finding ways to build connections
- Getting some general idea of the political culture in your state, pulse checking
