How to write to congress

I found some good places to look if you need information on the best way to write to congress about issues that affect family caregivers.

First, a link on a page at Congress that helps you find your representative. (Ask them to support bills that can benefit family caregivers, or, if they already support one or more such bills, thank them for supporting that specific bill.)


Writing a letter to congress This is a page by WEB Now and looks to me like it gives good informaiton.

How to Write Letters to Congress - About.com - About.com is always a good resource for information on things.

Grassroots toolkit - more information on writing to congress and includes a sample letter for their cause that will help you see how others approach getting their own causes seen by their representatives.

Sample letter, okay, so it's for issues that affect the Internet, but I think it's always good to have some idea of what others say to try and get attention drawn to their causes so I am linking to it here.

Hand delivered letters to congress Charges $8.95 for any letter to Congress.


That should do it for now, I'll let you know if I find more information. Remember, it's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease, so it can't hurt to send a few squeaks at congress asking them to please help family caregivers and support bills that would benefit the family caregiver.
