o We recommend you call first and follow-up with a short written note about the issue you called about

o Limit your call to one or two issues as the person you are talking with will likely not be able to deal with a long list of issues.  So call several times if you need to, not just once.

o Always: § Clearly identify the issue – bill number is best if you know the bill number

§ Clearly state your position – Support or Oppose

§ Provide one or two reasons to support your position 

o Always be courteous when communicating with your legislators.   Legislators are like most people and will usually react very negatively to rude or not-courteous contacts. 

o You can list more issues in a written comment, but we recommend only related issues in any single written comment.
