Correspondence that is short and to the point is more likely to grab and keep the reader s attention. If you have another issue to address, write another letter. Your letter should inform the reader. Rather than impressing your reader, such terms will only frustrate him or her. Don t send the same letter to more than one legislator.
Personalized letters have more impact.
Tell your legislator what effect you think a particular bill, if it becomes law, will have on you, your children, business or community. Be concise, but specific. Be polite , even if you disagree strongly with the legislator you are addressing. Lawmakers cannot please everyone. Your communication will be more effective if you are reasonable in your approach.
