RE: [WISPA] WISPA task
On the old WISPA website, I had a drop down list that took you to each state webpage. From those webpages you could find your congressmen. I bet Matt Larsen would put the zipcode search on the new page.

Re: [WISPA] WISPA task
Um, if you make it easy then people will do it. If it's too hard or takes too much time, people won't. And, for whatever it's worth, I've already emailed over 20 of my reps for my state before you even sent this reply.

Re: [WISPA] WISPA task
FYI. Letter writing tips from our ISPCON Spring 2005 conference program. The letter is the most popular choice of communication with a congressional office. When writing, use fax or e-mail due to the delays of mail delivery resulting from the threat of Anthrax and other bio hazards. Write your letter on professional letterhead. Be sure to include your full name, address, phone number and request a reply. Your letter will be read by an aide. While legislators themselves are usually not able to read all of the correspondence sent to their offices, that does not mean your letter will not have an impact. Congressional Representatives rely heavily on their aides to provide them with concise and thorough information. Aides keep a running tally of letters received for or against a given position and report the results regularly to the Congressperson. A well-written, thought provoking letter can educate an aide, thereby influencing the legislator. 1.The purpose of your letter should be stated in the first paragraph. 2.Make the topic clear in your first sentence. For example; I'm writing to ask your support of. 3.Give reasons for your position and include personal experience or concrete examples. 4.Use your own words and experiences. Personal letters and real stories are more compelling. 5.Ask a question. By doing so you may receive a personal response. 6.A one-page letter is best. Only write a longer letter if necessary for clarity. 7.Be polite, positive and constructive. Don't plead and never threaten. 8.Stay on topic. If you have other issues write another letter pertinent to that topic. Frank Muto President FSM Marketing Group, Inc.
