- Traditional Letters
-- we never use them during the session
because they take too long.
- E-mails --
The fastest way to deliver your thoughts
and opinions, but some legislators
don't read their e-mails, or they get so many they just don't
have time. That is why is it important that you
deliver the crux of your message in the
Subject line (example: Please vote "YES on
HB-42!!!) Send e-mails to individual legislators
-- they don't pay attention to the e-mails sent to a
whole list of people.
- Phone calls to the House
or Senate -- This is a good way to make contact during
the daytime because switchboard operators
take messages (up to 5 during one call) and they are then placed
on the Legislator's desks. The problem is,
it is sometimes difficult to get through
The House phone is
801-538-1029
The Senate phone is
801-538-1035
- Phone calls to individual
Legislators at home evenings/weekends -- this is a
good way to have a one-on-one conversation
with Legislators. Most legislators welcome these
conversations, but please keep in mind they have spent a long
day at the Capitol -- be EXTRA courteous,
come to the point, keep the conversation as short as possible,
and ALWAYS thank them for their time and consideration.
- Faxes to the House or
Senate -- they are good because they
also get placed on the Legislator's desks.
Each fax must be to one individual
legislator at a time. If you send one fax with
multiple names on it, IT WILL BE DISCARDED instead of being
delivered.
House Fax Number
801-326-1544
Senate Fax Number
801-326-1475
- GO TO THE CAPITOL AND
SEND NOTES IN -- This is the very
best way to contact legislators because they know you care
enough about the issue to BE THERE IN PERSON. Your
notes can just be a message, you can ask them to call
your cell phone, or you can ask them to meet you outside
the door for a face-to-face conversation.
