Getting your message heard:
Daily conversation

The word-of-mouth approach is an effective way to spread your message and broaden the impact of your efforts.  Remember:

• Always stick to the facts - unsubstantiated or irrational arguments are often dismissed.

• Explain the proposal's effects.

• Keep the tone of your correspondence firm, confident, positive, and courteous.

• Offer suggestions on how that individual can influence legislative decisions - such as those suggested on this site.
