What Can I Do?
Make your voice heard!
Flood your reps with your concerns!
Make calls! Make contacts!
BE CLEAR, SPECIFIC, and POLITE – What do you want them to do and why? The intern who reads your letter and tallies opinions reads hundreds of these every day. Make it easy for them to understand your point. DO NOT expect a reply, but know that it still counts to help the rep learn which way the wind is blowing. If you have it, include specific information about public polls and/or some quantity of voters who share your views.
