SOUND OFF! Contact Your Elected Officials

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version Share this

Sound Off LogoCalls, e-mails and letters to your elected officials often do make a difference.  It’s important for public officials to know how the people feel about important issues and votes. It’s vital to let our elected members know that we are keeping an eye on how they vote – and will hold them accountable at election time if they ignore the will of the people!

When contacting officials, your efforts are most apt to be successful if you are polite, keep comments brief, include a bill number if you can, and add a pertinent example (for instance, “Please support increased funds to treat wounded veterans so we can help people like my cousin, Joe, an Iraq war veteran who needs state-of-the-art treatment to help his recovery from a brain injury.”)  

Be aware that letters mailed to Congress or the U.S. Senate can be delayed weeks or even months because of screening mail for Anthrax.  So it’s best to contact your federal officials by e-mail, phone, or fax.  Be sure to mention that you are a constituent who lives in his or her district.
