Contacting Your Representative

Write a letter to your congressional representative about a current policy issue; follow the given instructions:
- Find the name and address of your U.S. representative.
- Choose a federal policy issue discussed in the textbook or in the news. Research it sufficiently so that you can explain your position on it and the reason you feel that way.
- Explain what you would like your legislator to do about the situation and why.
