Email Tips +

  • Don't forget to include the name and numbers for the bill.
  • Clearly state how you are urging them to vote (Example: "Vote YES because...")
  • Keep it short. There is no need to write a whole essay. A few sentences will do. 
  • Make it personal. Elected officials tend to ignore emails that are copied and pasted from 100s of people. Add a personal touch like a story or how this bill would impact your community.
