Writing a letter is one of the most important things you
can do to educate the public and let your elected officials know your stance
on important issues. Politicians and legislators say one hand-written letter
represents 30 people. Just one letter to the Editor can be published
in newspapers across the state, and be seen by tens of thousands of readers.
Letters should not be long - about 250 words, or 2-3 paragraphs, is enough. Letters should be clearly written, polite and to the point. Factual arguments are much more effective than insults. Be sure to sign the letters and include your name and address. One strategy that works well when writing to legislators is to make a point in your letter, then ask a question. The legislator has an opportunity to respond to your concerns as well as answer your question. This establishes a dialogue which can become an opportunity for you to get more information to the legislator.
