Legislators

CUH welcomes one and all to join us in our efforts to win universal health care for our state and nation. If you agree that we deserve better than the intolerably inhumane and wasteful situation we have now, why not tell your representatives in government in your own way? Letters to the press are also very helpful.

WHEN WRITING TO A LEGISLATOR
Try to stick to one typewritten page, two at the most. Write only on one side of the page. In your first paragraph, briefly state your purpose. Stay with one subject per letter. If writing about a bill, cite it by name and number. Be factual. Avoid emotional arguments. Indicate likely adverse/positive effects of a bill. Suggest a better approach if possible. Ask for the legislator's views, but do not demand support of your position. Remain respectful. Make sure your name and address are legible. Check to see if your Legislator has an email address. More and more legislators use email.

Address your letter in the following manner:
The Honorable ________________________
United States Senate (or United States House of Representatives)
Washington DC 20510 (or 20515 for house members)

Begin with "Dear Senator (or Representative) _______________________"
