- Don't blanket all of Congress with a form letter. Sending the same
message to all legislators serves to dilute your message, rather than amplifying
it.
- Include a return postal address. That will let your Representative
or Senator know you are their constituent. It will also give them the means
to send you a response. Eventually, many will send responses via e-mail,
but today, most only send an acknowledgement of your message by e-mail
and send a reply to you via U.S. mail.
- Before you write, check to see if your legislator has already posted
a statement paper on the World Wide Web about the topic you are interested
in.
