WRITE A LETTER TO PRESIDENT

I.E.M.R.A.

WRITE A LETTER TO YOUR SENATOR, CONGRESSMAN, REPRESENTATIVE, THE SUPREME COURT, THE PRESIDENT

Democracy is a government that is representative of the population and is comprised of officials from that population, elected by the people to serve in public office in the best interest of the populace. Our freedom of speech and our role in our own government allows us to, respectfully, voice our opinions, requests, and discontent to our elected officials.

All citizens, children included, are encouraged to write letters to their local Senators, Congressmen, Judges, and Councilmembers, as well as The President and other politicians.

Enjoy and utilize your power as a citizen, and share your political views and requests with your politicians. Keep in mind a few points of common sense when communicating--never use profanity or threatening language, speak clearly and respectfully, and keep your communication short and to the point.

Some of the addresses and salutations below may help you gain access to your elected officials.

Use the rights and freedoms we enjoy responsibly, and take advantage of those liberties that many other nations may not enjoy as we do in the United States of America.
