WESTMINSTER-A few days ago, I texted some of my family members to call their representatives to voice their opinion on a bill. Our family consists of both Democrats and Republicans, so I kept my request short.
Days later, my aunt, who is in her late 70s, replied that it was the first time she had ever reached out to her representatives. I was a bit stunned. I thought she had been doing so her entire life.
It led me to believe that perhaps when we talk about reaching out to our representatives like it is a normal activity, it might not be for some. In that spirit, I would like to share how easy it is to reach out to your delegation.
To call or email your delegation, visit house.gov or senate.gov. Select Senator or Representative from the menu and find your legislator by state. You will find their individual phone numbers.
