Write again and get others to write. When calling a public official, you may either leave a message with his or her secretary, if the official is not available, or request your call be returned. Ask your legislator to state his or her position on the issue. As a constituent, you're entitled to know. If the legislator asks a question to which you don't have the answer, say that you will investigate further and call back.
Formal Visits Call for an appointment at a convenient time.
Arrange to go with at least one other person. The initial visit should be one of introduction and explanation of your interest in legislation. Be prepared to answer specific questions on legislation of interest. You can accomplish more by listening and mentally noting areas of accord and disagreement. After this initial contact you have a base from which to contact the legislator again on specific bills.
