 The Wisconsin state legislature
has convened for its 2009 session, and NOW is the time to write to your WI
State Senators and Representatives, letting them know how YOU feel about puppy
mills!
Legislators give more
thought to issues about which they receive several letters. Your
letter might just be the one that educates a key decision-maker and
sways an important opinion!
You
can find contact information for your area's representatives by going to:
http://www.legis.state.wi.us./ and clicking on the
"Who are my legislators?" button.
Becky
of the Best Friends Network has written three excellent sample letters for us
that you can use as starting points for your own messages.
Sample Letter for
Newly-Elected Representative-- Congratulates / Welcomes new representative
and expresses hope that WI will be a leader in anti-puppy mill legislation.
Sample
Letter for Re-Elected Representative -- Congratulates re-elected
representatives and expresses hope that WI will be a leader in anti-puppy mill
legislation.
Sample
Letter for Returning Representative -- Can be used for any legislator if
you don't know whether he/she is newly elected, re-elected, or in the middle of
his/her term. Welcomes representative to new session and expresses hope that WI
will be a leader in anti-puppy mill legislation.
