It is very important to continue to contact
legislators!
We need to send
thousands of emails and make thousands of calls!
Action must be taken now! We can
make a difference, but it has to be done right away!
Below is some helpful information to
make it very easy for you to contact legislators.
If we are
going to end forced annexation, we need to build on the incredible
momentum generated by the Rally in Raleigh and the Public Hearing.
In addition to contacting legislators,
please encourage friends, family,
co-workers, and anyone else to also contact their legislators.
Important Tips when
Communicating with Legislators
In the subject line
of an email, list Forced Annexation.
-
- Keep your message very brief—no more
than 2 or 3 paragraphs.
-
- Stay on point.
-
- Personalize your message.
-
- If you are a constituent, stress
that up front.
-
- Be courteous and respectful—this
doesn’t mean you shouldn’t convey a strong message.
