You're powerful — because you live and vote in your
legislator's district. And it's the job of your lawmakers to
represent you.
But they can't
effectively represent your interests unless you communicate
with them around the issues you care about. Your elected
representatives pay close attention to grassroots points of
view expressed by their constituents, and take those views
into account when the final votes are cast. That's why YOU,
as an informed and active constituent, can play the most
important role of all in shaping legislation. Choose to
make a difference by becoming an active participant with
others in policymaking.
