Speak Up

Enter your zip-code in the boxes below, and we'll guide you to a form that will let you write directly to your legislators.

Here are some easy-to-follow steps:

• Pick a single issue and focus on it, rather than writing about several issues.

• Learn where your legislators stand on the issue.  How have they voted in the past?  What committees do they serve on?  Who are their supporters?  The answers to these questions will help you tell your legislators how they can take action.  

• When writing your letter, define your position clearly and concisely.  The more short and simple your message—the better your chances of having an impact.

• Tell your legislators how the issue will impact your personally.  This will help them see the matter through your eyes.

• Support your message with solid evidence.

• Remember: the most powerful way to make your message heard is to convince others to speak up too!  So follow-up on your letter with phone calls, convince other people in your community to voice their opinion, and use local outlets like newspapers and radio programs to deliver your message.
