Main Page The Latest News Radio Links Corp and Gov't Activist / Legal	HOW DO YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE? Get Active! Write, Call, Talk, Debate, Persuade! Our elected officials represent us, the public. Sometimes they don't always know all the answers (let alone the questions) and they need to be reminded of what the public wants, of what is important to us. They won't know unless we tell them. Take the time (it won't take long) to place a phone call or write an email or a hand-written or typed letter. We do recommend a letter since they seem to hold the most weight. Don't worry about being overly eloquent -- state the issue as you see it and what you think should be done about it. Keep it simple, polite and direct. Often times just a couple of sentences are enough. WHO DO YOU CONTACT?
