Contacting your elected
officials:
Personal
contacts can be
the most effective form of advocacy.
However,
phone calls, letters,
faxes, and e-mail are all good strategies.
A few basics:
*
Be concise, accurate,
and polite.
*
Speak for yourself
as a voter, not as a member of an organization.
*
Keep to one issue.
*
Be specific about
what action you wish the official to take:
"Vote
yes on bill #1234," for example.
*
Be timely: make
the contact close to when the action will be taken.
*
Include any relevant
personal experience.
*
Ask for a written
response.
*
Include your name
and address, even in e-mail and on the phone,
to show
you're a constituent
