Avoid rambling and dullness, righteous indignation, big words, obscure words, jargon, long sentences, puns and overstatements. Type or handwrite legibly. State the central idea of your letter at the beginning. Most newspapers do not print anonymous letters, although they will withhold your name from print if you feel strongly about it. Call or write a letter to your legislators.
Legislators consider one letter to be the voice of a hundred people.
Spell the representative's name correctly, and be sure to use the right address. If appropriate, state a specific bill number, and give the name of the legislation you are writing about. Use your own words and avoid stereotyped phrases that sound like form letters. Your own personal experience is the best supporting evidence. Tell how the issue would affect you, your family, community, or livelihood, or how it would affect your community state or country.
