sending letters to government officials?

YES YOU CAN WRITE THEM,CALL THEM AND EMAIL THEM!! YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AND YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WORK FOR US!! http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/Surprisingly few people ever write to their United States senators or congressional representatives. Perhaps ninety percent of our citizens live and die without ever taking pen in hand and expressing a single opinion to the people who represent them in Congress. This reluctance to communicate results from the typical and understandable feeling that legislators have no time or inclination to read their mail, that a letter probably won't be answered or answered satisfactorily, that one letter won't make any difference anyway. Based on my own experience, and speaking for myself at least, I can state flatly that these notions are wrong.    *  Write your own views--not someone else's. A personal letter is far better than a form letter, or signature on a petition. Many people will sign petition without reading it just to avoid offending the circulator; form letters are readily recognizable--they usually arrive in batches and usually register the sentiments of the person or lobbying group preparing the form. Form letters often receive form replies. Anyway, I usually know what the major lobbying groups are saying, but I don't often know of your experiences and observations, or what the proposed bill will do to you and for you. A sincere, well-thought-out letter from you can help fill this gap;\n\n    * Give your reasons for taking a stand. Statements such as "Vote against H.R. 100; I'm bitterly opposed" don't help much, but a letter which says, for example, "I'm a small hardware dealer, and H.R. 100 will put me out of business for the following reasons . . ." tells me a lot more.  Maybe I didn't know all the effects of the bill, and your letter will help me understand what it means to an important segment of my constituency.

Idealy you would send your complaint to the your representatives in congresses.  They have an INS (or in this case it may be a Justice Dept. laison) who will approach the agency with your note. Using http://www3.capwiz.com/y/directory/congdir.tt you should be able to find who you can approach.

My husband is currently deployed in Afghanistan so I have a little info for you.  The government is no longer allowing people to send letters to a random person like we used to be able to.  Before, you were allowed to write a letter and address it to "any soldier" and they could write back.  Because of security reasons, they will now throw away any mail address like this (at least that is what I was told).  We were told that if we found people who were interested in "adopting" a soldier so to speak that they should contact a base or national guard post close to them and they can sign you up and actually give you information on how you can write letters and provide support.\n\nHope this helps

I assume this is a letter to an elected official about an issue, asking them to do something.\n\nThe environment could be good. Pick something like drilling for oil in Alaska, or clean air and clean water standards.\n\nEducation is also a good idea. Is your school district running short on money? Tell your elected officials about that. Use concrete examples - buildings need repairs, teachers are laid off, elective classes cut.

Go to http://www.whitehouse.gov  and use the "contact" link... you'll get all the contact info that you need.... snail mail add, phone numbers, email.... take your pick. Understand that it is unlikely that you will receive a personal reply from the president.... He has other things to do other than answer millions of letters & such.

Technically, our elected officials are supposed to vote the will of the people.  So the idea of the emails is for you to contact your representative and let him or her know how you feel.   Most governments do not have employees pay in to SS, they have their own retirement funds.\n\nI hate to say on this issue for sure, they will ignore you.  Elected officials lately are more interested in saving their jobs than doing them.  The best you can do is continue to say what you want to them and support candidates who are willing to try to change this.  I don't mean to be fatalistic, but I am one of those who thinks on this issue anything is a losing battle (although I do keep trying).\n\nSomeone suggested once the easiest way to get SS fixed is to have congress part of it.  Too bad congress wasn't listening.

You're asking for a lot of trouble with this one - LOL!\n\nAnyway, I think you start the letter off with the greeting "Dear Mr. President," - I may be wrong, though.

Your link drives to an add for a company that collects "a small fee" to send mail. Isn't this against the policies for Yahoo! Answers?\n\nRevised: Keep in mind that President Bush directs policy (he asked for Congress to do something about immigration in his State of the Union Address), but the people who are considering the new laws are your Senators and Representatives. These are the best recipients for any letters you wish to write at this time. Congress will take up the question again after their break having failed to get a law passed on Friday, April 7, as they had hoped. Any letters you write to them now are much more likely to get noticed!

Normally when writing any letter, even a letter of complaint, it is just common courtesy to start the letter with 'Dear' so Dear Senator or Dear Senator Smith would be quite acceptable. However if you do not wish to open your letter in this way then why not head it like a Memo. Example below. Let's say you are enquiring as to the plans to build a road through your local park to which you object, you could style it as follows:-\n\nSenator's Office\nCity Hall\nLos Angeles\nCalifornia\n\n1032 Second Avenue\nGeorgetown\nLos Angeles\nCalifornia\nDate : 26th March 2006\n\n\nRef  : Georgetown Woodland Park\n\nI write with reference to the proposal by the Mayor to allow the building of a road through Georgetown Woodland park. You will be awarte that there is considerable local opposition to this project and as a measure of the feelings of residents of Georgetown I enclose a petition signed by 10,000 people whio are against the development.\n\nI would appreciate the opportuniy for my committee and myself to meet with you to discuss this matter further and to submit to you our alternative suggestion for the routing of this proposed highway.\n\nI look forward to your early reply.\n\n\n\n\nJohn Doe\nGeorgetown Residents Committee\n\nEnc: 50 page petition.

You can go to the embassy website to get the proper forms.  They also reply to e-mails, usually within 24 hours. Good luck.
