As a result, the Illinois State Dental Society will often call on members to contact their legislators regarding legislation that affects, or will affect, the practice of dentistry in Illinois. In addition to phone calls, letters are an important indicator for legislators as to what their constituents are thinking. Once you know who your legislators are, you can use the phone number on the following pages to contact them. Or, for more impact, take the time to write a letter which allows you to fully develop your arguments for or against an issue. Letters are often quoted in committee hearings or debate.
