Writing your representatives in government
As a voter, your opinions help determine how your elected officials may vote on a given issue or what kind of policy decision they may make. Let your representatives know your views by card, letter, fax, or e-mail. Be brief. State who you are and give your reasons for believing as you do. Sign your name and address legibly. If they vote as you wish, write and express your thanks.
Cómo Escribir a su Representante del Gobierno
Como elector, sus opiniones son las que ayudan a determinar la manera que sus funcionarios públicos puedan votar en ciertos asuntos o la naturaleza de las decisiones políticas que puedan seguir. Hágales saber a sus representantes su puntos de vista enviándoles una tarjeta, una carta, un fax o un e-mail. Sea breve. Dígales quien es y las razones por las cuales usted piensa de tal manera. Escriba su nombre y dirección de manera legible. Si votan de la manera que usted les ha pedido, escríbales unas palabras de agradecimiento.
