Find legislators in your state

Letters/e-mails to policy makers (all levels) should:

• Be concise, informed, and polite (do not threaten, do not be rude)
• Be brief (1-2 pages, a few paragraphs) and legible
• State your purpose in the first paragraph
• Include your full name and home address

If your letter is about a bill, budget item, or specific policy:

• Cite the bill, policy, or budget item (by name or number if you know it, or just stated clearly if you do not); if you plan to mention two issues/bills - state that up front
• Say whether you support or oppose it, and briefly why
• Be factual and speak from your own experience or knowledge
• Ask for their views on the issue or bill
