Points to Remember for Writing to Legislators
- Limit your letter to one page. People have limited time, thus one page letters are often more effective and better received.
- A letter may be either typed or handwritten. In today’s electronic age, a handwritten letter can stand out.
- Get to the point. State the problem and your opinion. A short personal story can be uie effective. Keep it positive.
- Check your grammar, spelling, and punctuation. These are educated people. Your letter will be better received when it is written properly.
- Mention that you are a voter. Politicians do value voters’ opinions. Expound on your subject and keep to the point.
