  • Letter or Email: write a letters or emails or a combination of letters/emails to their identified legislators (State and/or Federal).  Legislators read correspondence, especially when it is personalized and clearly from a constituent. The following guidelines should be used when writing to your representative:
    1. Be brief (one page or less), 
    2. Begin with the appropriate heading and address.
    3. Be specific: State the specific bill number and issue and state your opinion in the first sentence.
    4. Relate your experience with the issue. Use personal examples when possible. Your interest and concern about the issue is important. 
    5. Ask the legislator to specifically commit to supporting or opposing the legislation you are writing about.
    6. Ask for specific reasons they are supporting or opposing the proposal. 
    7. Sign and print your name and include your address and other contact information.
    8. If you have pertinent materials and/or editorials from local papers, include them.
