If they offer you an appointment, be sure to let us know for coordinating purposes at [email protected].- Find your state representative on this web page. Find your state senator on this web page. You’ll obtain their contact information, including addresses and phone numbers. Write to each separately.
- Consider hosting a letter-writing party or other opportunities.
- Consider writing and/or collecting the letters during worship and including them in the prayer of dedication.
- If calling a legislator's office, talking to a staff member can also be helpful.
