Making your voice heard is both effective and easy to do. Elected officials are very sensitive to the views of their constituents especially to those who are thoughtful and articulate.Letter writing is the most common way people communicate with their elected officials, and it is remarkably effective.
Even so, you may want to consider other kinds of contact. Sending a message by Email to legislators on the Net is very convenient and effective. The personal visit is an option that is often overlooked, but just one visit with your representative can have an impact and will, at the same time, pave the way for future communication.
The more you know about those you elect to represent you the easier it is to communicate effectively. There are many sources of information. One good source is you local newspaper. If the paper prints voting records, clip them along with other stories on your senators and representatives. Many members of Congress publish newsletters to keep their constituents aware of their activities. Ask to be added to the mailing list. In addition to the League a variety of public interest groups produce legislative newsletters, too.
You should also know on which committees your elected representatives serve. Most senators and representatives specialize in the issues that come before their committees. If your representative or senator is the chair or ranking member of a committee or subcommittee, those positions give them -and you - added leverage. If your representative or senator is not a member of a committee that has jurisdiction over an item of particular interest, contact the committee chair.
