Contact your State Representative and State Senator.

Members of the General Assembly need to know how Missouri families are impacted by our educational system. These legislators are your voice at the state capitol – make sure they know that you support the special needs legislation.

Tips for writing letters to legislators:

  • Keep it concise.
  • Keep it to one issue – avoid tangents.
  • Keep it to one page.
  • Add a personal note – handwritten notes are much more likely to be read than form letters.

Sample letters you can use to email legislators:
Letter to a Legislator Template I & Letter to a Legislator Template II
Remember…be brief, direct, and always include a personal story.
