Is my email to a state rep about a failed public safety bill effective?

[Anonymous]

I sent an email to a state rep about the failure of a house bill that would prioritize public safety funding for fire and emergency services:

Excellent

Good

Ok

Subpar

Anyone? Hello?

I genuinely tried to read it all but got lost eventually


It’s not bad but way too long and the ideas are too spread out


Best to stick to a simple and direct structure
Intro - explaining the issue - explaining the solution - and a conclusion / call to action


The less someone needs to read the better the message will be

It was well researched and cohesive, You presented good arguments in favor of EMS service and laid out many different solutions.

Thank you. I hope I conveyed the issues well for fire and emergency services.

Thank for the MHO😎

Make it one paragraph... get to the point.

Way too long. A rep won't read it. I doubt if even an assistant will read it all. Keep it simple, short and concise. Also, snail mail is better than email.

[Asker]

Did you even read it?

[WindAtMyBack]

Nope, and neither will a rep. It's too long. That's a pretty standard rule of thumb when writing a letter to a rep. Keep it short and simple.

The office of our reps take into account. But not ad much as donors.
If all likely voters contacted their representatives it would be a huge political change immediately. And im guilty of not bothering to do this, too.

It's demoralizing. But I should contact my reps more.

you'll be lucky if anybody even bothers to read it.

Stop what?

[Agape93]

Harping on about EMS stuff. It's constant.

[Agape93]
