General Writing Tips

# Type or print legibly. Sign your name neatly and give your address correctly so the Speaker can respond to your letter.
# Keep your letters brief. Never write more than one page. Concise written correspondence is more likely to grab and keep the reader's attention.
# Identify your issue or opinion at the beginning of the letter, don't bury your main point under trivial text.
# Cover only one issue per letter. If you have another issue to address, write another letter.
# Back up your opinions with supporting facts. Your letter should inform the reader.
# Avoid abbreviations or acronyms, and don't use technical jargon. Rather than impressing your reader, such terms will only frustrate him or her.
# Make sure you understand the legislative process. Even the most basic understanding of the process will help you effectively express your ideas.
# Contact the Speaker about a particular issue before the Legislature takes action on it. Most matters coming before the Legislature are well publicized before session.
# Use a variety of communication methods. You might choose to telephone, write, e-mail, fax, or visit the Speaker.
# You might also choose to give testimony at public hearings held by the Legislature. (To give testimony, you would need to contact the appropriate committee.)
# Tell the Speaker what effect you think a particular bill, if it becomes law, will have on you, your children, business, or community. Be concise, but specific.
# Be polite, even if you disagree strongly with the Speaker. Your communication will be more effective if you are reasonable in your approach.
# Suggest a course of action and offer assistance. Don't make promises or threats.
