Government And Media Directory

The following clip and save piece is a listing of local, state and federal addresses and phone numbers you can use in making your views known to your representatives. It also includes advice and media source information.

 

Communicating with Public Officials

In Person: Set up appointments by phone or mail. Most meetings of our representatives are open to the public, including committee meetings. Regular meetings have a time for audience participation.

By Phone: Offices often keep check lists of constituent opinion.

By Wire: Personal Opinion Messages may be sent to State and Federal representatives at a cost of $4.45 for 20 words or less plus your name and address. Phone Western Union at (800) 325-6000.

By Letter: The League of Women Voters advises that you use correct titles, names and addresses, that you address only one issue per letter, that you time the letter to arrive when the issue is current and that you not forget to send letters of commendation when officials do things which meet your approval.
