How to Write Powerful Letters 
to Government Leaders 

The most effective way to influence your legislators is to  write to them. I have relatives in the government (pity me) and they tell me that the usual ratio is 

Dear Senator Breaux,

I saw in the Lafayette Advertiser that your work on the Migratory Bird Conservation Commission has once again made Louisiana a better place to live; the money to restore the Louisiana's Chenier Plain Coastal wetlands will be put to good use, I'm sure. And, given your hard work protecting the environment, I'm certain that you understand the importance of decreasing greenhouse gasses. It is the rising sea-level caused by these gasses that helped to destroy the coastal marshes of Mermentau River Basin.

Now I know that Louisiana is a major producer of oil and gas for the US, and I am in favor of allowing continued exploration and development of these resources. But I also know that the latest developments in automobile engines could reduce our need for foreign oil and virtually eliminate greenhouse gasses - and reduce the trade imbalance as a side effect. Because of this, I believe the time is right to revisit automobile mileage standards. We both know that the automobile makers won't work to improve their fuel efficiency unless they are forced to; last year, the average MPG dropped 7%!

So please, as you work for Louisiana this year, please consider raising the fuel efficiency standards. We have the technology. We have the need. All we need is your help.

Thank you,
