How to contact our elected officials:
 |
| Congress should be composed of a variety of people, instead MAGA has seized control. Register to vote please and write congress to express your views. Artist |
Call lawmakers directly. This is thought to be most effective. Leave a voicemail after hours. Focus on one topic at a time. Call several times a day. Leave voicemail messages including your zip code.
- You can use suggested scripts from 5calls.org application to help formulate your concerned and irate calls, emails or voicemail messages.

TEXT THEM using Resistbot.
- This is another automated system that lets a resident contact several lawmakers at once using one message. Once you set up the system with your personal information, sending a message to all federal lawmakers, or all state officials, is like writing a simple text.
- Open letters are written by other patriotic citizens and you can send their messages to your lawmakers.
- I start every original message with a version of the following statement: "These are my own words. I use this automated system to send the same message to several elected officials at once. Please honor your oath of office and ACT TO defend our democracy from the NAZI-lover in the White House and his supremely dangerous cronies."
Mormon Women for Ethical Government have great suggestions for reaching out to our electeds:
To contact lawmakers as part of MWEG (Mormon Women for Ethical Government), use their website's Calls to Action page for pre-written messages and tools to email or call Congress/state legislators, or use official government sites like house.gov or senate.gov to find contact info directly, focusing on one issue per message with specific details for impact.
Using MWEG's Tools
- Visit the MWEG Website: Go to mormonwomenforethicalgovernment.org/calls-to-action.
- Choose an Issue: Select a topic, such as family, environment, or democracy.
- Use the Letter-Writing Tool: MWEG provides templates and prompts to help you write and send emails directly to your federal or state representatives.
General Contact Methods (Federal & State)
- Find Your Legislator: Use tools on house.gov/representatives for House members or senate.gov/senators for Senators, or your state's General Assembly website for state reps.
- Email/Phone/Fax: Once you find them, use their official contact pages for email, phone numbers, or fax.
- Social Media: Search for their names on platforms like Twitter (X).
Tips for Effective Communication
- Be Specific: Name bills (e.g., SB ###) and focus on one issue per message.
- Introduce Yourself: State you're a constituent from your town.
- Share Personal Stories: Connect the issue to your own experiences; it's powerful.
- In your communication, you might recall how your family members or close friends were killed, tortured, or harmed in other ways by the two world wars or by other military actions.
- Ask for Action: Clearly state what you want them to do (support/oppose a bill).
- You might remind the lawmakers that service women and men from this state might be tried
- for war crimes because they followed illegal orders to murder "alleged" drug-traffickers in
- small boats who were not able to reach the United States without several refueling stops.
- of this dangerous president.
