The Internet and e-mail are powerful tools for communicating with your elected officials. Often, federal legislators have Web sites that include a general office e-mail address. Like phone calls, offices keep a count of the e-mails they receive on each issue. Be sure to put your credentials and voting address in the e-mail so the office knows that you are a constituent.
Generally, the same guidelines for writing formal letters also apply to e-mails. (For a detailed explanation, please refer to pages 2 and 3.)
