Outlined Contents for
a Political Action Letter.
Use the outline
of contents that should be included to write to your State and Local Elected Officials.
Keep letters brief and limit to one page.
Rationalization
for personal drafted letter vs. form letter:
1.
Show you care. Take the time to write and mail your own letter.
2. Letters
that are not form and template provide a greater impact then a standard letter.
This is specific to the State of NJ, based on size and proximity of legislatures.
3. Strength
in numbers and organizational support. Include information on the Access Fund.
