Dear The Honorable (Rep or Senator),

BODY OF THE LETTER. Be sure to explain why you feel the way you do. These people represent you and need specific details about what they need to do to better serve you. Whenever possible, cite laws or policies to show you know what has been going on surrounding this topic. Please be courteous and do not threaten anyone.

Sincerely,
