Writing to or calling your elected officials is an effective way to make your voice heard and to influence their votes on issues that are important to you.

When writing or calling:

• Introduce yourself - let them know where you live and what you do
• Mention the bill’s LD number and the title of the bill
• Describe why this bill is important to you - personal stories resonate well
• Encourage your legislator to vote a certain way (either for or against)
• Again, mention the bill’s LD number and how you would like them to vote
• Thank your legislator for their time and hard work serving your community

If you have any questions about contacting your legislator, please contact Pete Didisheim at the Natural Resources Council of Maine at pdidisheim@nrcm.org or by calling (800) 287-2345 ext 213. Thank you for making your voice heard!
