Where you stand

Tips that make a message count

  • Write to your own legislators. Offices give constituents the most weight.
  • Name the bill number and say plainly whether you support or oppose it.
  • Add one personal reason: how it affects you, your family, your work or your town.
  • Keep it short and polite, and include your address so they know you live in the district.
  • Timing matters: before a subcommittee meeting or floor vote is best. Funnel’s alerts tell you when.
