Here are some helpful tips for making a difference in the state legislative process:

To find contact information for your current legislators, including email addresses and web addresses, click here. 

• Take a few moments to customize your email or letter because form letters are not given as much attention.  Keep your written correspondence brief.  Legislators don't have time to wade through lengthy messages.  If you don't receive a response from your legislator within 10-15 days, send your correspondence again.  They may not have received your original message.
