Members of our government look for public input to help shape their votes, and will pay attention to constituent mail. Concise, well thought out personal letters are one of the most effective ways Americans have of influencing the lawmakers they elect.

Letters will be more effective if you address a single topic or issue rather than a variety of issues you may feel passionate about. E-mails are alright, but typed, one-page letters are best and will get noticed more quickly.  Some tips in writing:

  1. Say why you are writing and who you are.  List your “credentials” and state that you are a constituent.  It also doesn’t hurt to mention if you voted for or donated to them.  If you want a response, you must include your name and address, even when using e-mail.
  2. Provide more detail.  Be factual and not emotional.  Provide specific rather than general information about how the topic affects you and others.  If a certain bill is involved, cite the correct title or number whenever possible.
  3. Close by requesting the action you want to be taken. It might be a vote for or against a bill, a change in general policy, or some other action, but be specific.
The best letters are courteous, to the point, and include specific supporting examples.
