- Write a letter using your own stationery. Letters are more effective than postcards.
- Be sure to include your address. Representatives are interested in their constituents and usually reply.
- Use your own words, giving reasons why you are for or against the legislation and identifying it by bill number.
- Address yourself to only one issue.
- While a letter is still the preferred way to contact your elected officials, time constraints or other reasons may make email or FAX a more suitable means by which to communicate.
