What I learned from Senator Russell Ruderman
1. Time your letter when a bill is coming up to testify
2. Write your letter as part of an Organization as it carries more weight
3. In the first sentence say who you are (group, as a constituent if applicable and what you want) ie KauaiEV, constituent, please vote yes on bill #
Keep it brief. Be polite, this is not the place to vent, we want to change opinions not give way to emotionally relieve ourselves
