How to Contact
your
Elected Officials

Postcards are not suspect for anthrax attacks and therefore are a good way to communicate with government officials. Regular letters can be delayed up to 3 months. Keep your message simple--- "I do not support a war against Iraq. Do not wage war against Iraq in my name." In a postcard, be sure to include your signature and mailing address so they can verify that you are one of their constituents.

Mail your postcard to:

Senator ________________, US Senate, Washington DC, 20510

Representative ___________, US House of Representatives, Washington DC 20515

You can find out who represents you in Congress by going to www.congress.org or by calling the congressional switchboard at (220)224-3121
