Bills being debated and passed daily.
Tips for writing your legislators: 1) Legislators don’t have time to read long emails. Be very brief and concise (about three sentences (include bill #, state your reason(s) for why your favor or oppose a bill). It’s that simple. 2) be respectful (avoid derogatory or inflammatory language. 3) close your email with your full name and city. Mission accomplished!
