First, personally or eye to eye. Get to know them before you need to contact them on an issue. Second, is a personal telephone call. If you cannot speak with the legislator directly, let them know they don t need to return the phone call. Next would be a personal letter.
Form letters are bad, as are postcards.
Now is the time to visit them, before the session starts. If you meet with them when they get to Annapolis, then there is the possibility of their being rushed. If you want to do this, please let Ms. Dade know so she can brief you on what the System s standing is on the issue. If there is a group that is interested in a particular issue, Mr. Komenda would be happy to speak with them. Mr. Komenda mentioned that the surplus money may be a big item this session.
