Share your own thoughts and experiences
Be positive
Don't attack and Don't accuse
Be professional, but be yourself
Be honest
Share from the heart but back with facts
Thank them for their service
Ask how you can help
Focus:  Stay to the one topic, be brief and don't ramble
Follow-up with a brief written summary and a thank you note
That help?

Sounds like Dave1215 was at the Day at the Capital?

I would suggest sending letters ( if you opt for the written route) via snail mail.  With an e-mail, its just a matter of hitting the delete button, no muss no fuss, but, physically putting something into a persons  hand, makes it more "real" and I believe carrys more weight.

I gave up on my senator, its not like anything worth a crap is going to pass this session anyhow....

I did decide to become considerably more involved this next time around....I have already sent email messages to all three canidates running for the seat in district 12 to replace Steve Lathrop. Who ever wins, I plan on having met them before
the election & making sure that they know that I am in their district...

I also have a preliminary plan of volunteering for one or possibly two of the canidates depending on how the primary goes between the 2 conservatives... I feel personally responsible to do what I can to get someone elected to represent my district adequately! I figure that helping them to get elected would be a great way to start a relationship!

We have an interesting position in several of the races in the primary.  Because of how the system works here the Dems and Repubs don't each get a candidate on the ballot for the general election.  The top two vote getters in each race move forward.  So we may have two pro gun candidates out of three possible candidates (some of the races have 6-8 candidates) and we should work to help both of the pro gun candidates in the primary.  That way even if our favorite does not win in the general we have avoided getting stuck with the anti by eliminating them in the primary.
