Phone calls and e-mails are IMMEDIATE. They provide senators and representatives with direct feedback from constituents in their home districts.

 

Tips:

• Be Prepared - know about the bill being discussed in case there are any question posed to you.

• Identify yourself by name and address/district. Identify the pertinent bill by name and number.

• Stay brief and simple - focus on one point to influence your legislator's vote in your direction.

• Ask for the legislator's view on the bill being discussed.

• Leave a message if you are transferred to voice mail. Be sure to leave your name, the date and time of your call, a brief reason for your call, your telephone number, and request for a response.

• Encourage others to call - there is a impact in number. You legislator tracks the volume of calls that come into the office regarding a particular issue.
