Take action

Two things you can do this week that reach the people who decide: tell your representatives what you think, and put a comment on the record before a federal rule is final.

Who represents you Enter your address to find your U.S. representative, both senators and your state legislators, their phone numbers and contact forms, and how they voted lately. Find your representatives → Comment before it's final 65 federal rules are open for public comment right now. Agencies must read every comment and answer the substantive ones before a rule is final.

Calls work better than email

  1. Call the office that represents you. Staff tally calls by issue and by whether the caller lives in the district or state, so give your ZIP code first.
  2. Name one bill or one vote. "I'm calling about H.R. 1234, and I'd like the senator to vote no" is counted; a general opinion is harder to log.
  3. Ask for the member's position, and ask to be told when it changes.
  4. Follow up in writing through the member's contact form, which goes into the office's correspondence system.
