How to Contact your Legislators
​
We must keep this issue in the forefront of their busy minds. Would you write a letter? It could be on whatever stationery you have on hand, and make it personal so that they know it is not a form letter.
​
• Let them know exactly how the large scale commercial farming industry has affected you personally.
• Let them know if you care deeply about the effects of large-scale commercial farming (e.g. the Christmas tree industry) on you and your family and on our community.
• Let them know if you fear the health effects of pesticides on those you love.
• Let them know if you feel that our water quality is being compromised.
• Let them know if you fear that our peaceful agricultural community is disappearing fast, that small farmers are being driven out, that people who can afford to are leaving.
​
Above all, please be courteous and respectful, and ask for their help in changing the laws to favor the freedom and rights of individuals.
​
Your letters can be hand-written or typed, in the form of a business letter or any form that works for you. Below you will find addresses and correct titles to use. We would appreciate it if you would drop us a line stating who you contacted!
