Contact Your Legislator

The March for Life Education and Defense Fund calls on its members to reach out to their elected officials concerning life issues. Below are guidelines to follow when writing letters, sending e-mails or making phone calls to your legislators.

Clearly identify what your letter is concerning, and address only one subject or piece of legislation per letter.
Clearly state what you want the Member of Congress to do (sponsor, oppose, vote for, investigate, etc.)
Be brief, but give good reasons for your letter or request. Keep your letter to no more than one page.
Send a thank you letter if appropriate.

Follow these guidelines when addressing your letter:

To a Senator:

The Honorable (full name)
