Dear Representative:

My name is ______and I am a student in Mrs. Etter’s Government class at KellHigh School. Tell him a little about yourself here!!! I am writing this first to congratulate you on your re-election, but also to discuss a topic that arose in class discussion recently that interests me, ______(the number and title of the bill you choose to write on).Only if they actually got re-elected and only if Congress is in session.
As your future constituent, I would like to encourage you to vote ______(yes or no) on this bill. Here you write why you specifically believe that. Include why you are for/against this, info backing up your stance, and any suggestions that you have to improve this. To end the sentence you can write something like… I truly believe that if my suggestion of ______is imposed then the problem will improve (only if you make a suggestion y’all). Really elaborate here; this is where you sell your point! – or – you can talk about the problem you see and the bill you would like to propose!
Or…..
You can talk about an issue you would like to see them address at the Federal level (if you’re writing to a Federal office holder) or the State level (if you are writing to a state office holder).
Ex: Georgia legalizing medicinal marijuana or keeping it illegal.
Ex: Gay marriage – so many states are legalizing it, do you want to see it stay illegal or should Georgia legalize it?
Ex: Physician assisted suicide – three states have it legal, should we? Or should it stay illegal?
If Congress isn’t in session, follow the highlighted instructions for this part.
I want to thank you very much for taking into consideration my stance and suggestions on this issue. Please take my stance into consideration when voting on this crucial bill. If you would like to write back to me and describe your personal feelings on this issue, my address is provided above. Thank you for your time and I look forward to fulfilling my civic duty and voting in the next election when I am of age. Feel free to add anything else here!
