1. Tips for writing phoning and e-mailing your
congressional lawmakers.

Introduction:

To find your representative's phone number, you may use our jump to a
searchable online congressional directory or call the U.S. Capital
Switchboard at (202)224-3121 and ask for your Senator's and/or
Representative's office.

Remember that telephone calls are often taken by a staff member, not the
member of Congress. Ask to speak with the aide who handles the issue
on which you wish to comment.

After identifying yourself, tell the aide you would like to leave a brief
message, such as: "Please tell Senator/Representative (Name) that I
support/oppose (S.# ___ /H.R. # ___)."

You will also want to state reasons for your support or opposition to the
bill. Ask for you Senator's or Representative's position on the bill. You
may also request a written response to your phone call.

Tips On Writing Congress

The letter is the most popular of communication with a congressional
office. If you decide to write a letter, this list of helpful suggestions will
improve the effectiveness of your letter:

1. Your purpose for writing should be stated in the first paragraph of the
letter. If your letter pertains to a specific piece of legislation, identify it
accordingly, e.g., House bill: H.R. ___, Senate Bill S. ___.

2. Be courteous, to the point, and include key information, using
examples to support you position.

3. Address only one issue in each letter, and if possible, keep the letter
to one page.
