TIPS FOR COMMUNICATIONS

  • Address the person as follows: Dear Mr. President, or Mr. or Madame Secretary.
  • Make your communication legible. Original letters are better than form letters.
  • The US Congress mail is very slow. It's better to fax or e-mail but if you send a letter, it's better to send it to the local office.
  • Be brief and refer to a bill by name or number.
  • Give a reason for your request. Personal experiences are effective.
  • Ask your official for his/her position on an issue.
  • Put complete name and address on your letter since envelopes are trashed.
  • Copy your legislators on any committee or departmental correspondence.
  • Thank public officials and legislators when they support your position.
  • Consider sending a copy of your message to the Letters to the Editor column of your local paper, perhaps introducing it with: "[The issue] is of major concern to the people of this region. I have sent the following letter to ....."
