YOUR voice matters. Turn your PASSION for an issue into ACTION.
Legislators want to hear from their constituents. The most effective way to contact them is via email, however you may also call them or send a fax. Mailed letters must go through intense security procedures which can delay their delivery.

Be concise
Let them know you are a constituent (you live in their district, belong to their party or voted for them)
Reference the bill number(s), if possible
Include key information (how the issue will impact your community)
