It is a pillar of our democracy that guarantees – FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
Our system does its best to render a Congress that reflects citizen will. However, it falls short of this ideal when citizens fail to raise their voices. There exists multiple ways to be heard, not the least of them being the cast of their vote.
Another way is to phone or write a member of Congress. Understandably, this can be a daunting prospect for many. In light of that I have decided to create a formatted document that you might find appealing to use. It aims to be an easy and convenient vehicle for reaching out to one or more senators or representatives.
You can view the document here. You can use the link below to download it. When printed (front & back), it can be folded as directed, sealed with a piece of cellophane tape, provided with a postage stamp and mailed as is. Alternately, in can be inserted into a business envelope. It is filled out in the form of a checklist survey but provides room for short comment. It is apolitical and suggests providing enough personal information to make it credible. [ To type in information it will be necessary to “enable editing after download. ]
