Tips on writing to a Legislator
The letter is the most popular choice of communication with a congressional office. If you decide to write a letter, this list of helpful suggestions will improve the effectiveness of the letter:
- Your purpose for writing should be stated in the first paragraph of the letter. If the letter pertains to a specific piece of legislation, identify it accordingly, e.g., House bill: H.R. _____, Senate bill: S._____.
- Be courteous, to the point, and include key information, using examples to support your position.
- Address only one issue in each letter, and, if possible, keep the letter to one page.
