HELPFUL TIPS FOR WRITING LEGISLATORS

IMPORTANT:

  • You’ll write your message in the text box on Step 2, where it says “Personalize your message.”
  • Your message will be delivered to the 14 members of the Legislature’s Joint Revenue Committee.
  • Don’t click the “Send message” button until you write your message.
  • REMEMBER TO DELETE THE TEXT THAT SAYS “[DELETE THIS TEXT AND INSERT YOUR MESSAGE HERE]”

YOUR MESSAGE SHOULD HAVE THREE SHORT PARTS:

1. Say who you are.

Make sure to tell them you’re a Wyoming voter.

My name is ________ and I’m a Wyoming voter.

2. Say what you want.

I’m writing today to ask you to vote “Yes” for the Revenue Committee to sponsor a bill to expand Medicaid during the 2023 Legislative session.

3. Say why you want it.

[This is where you can add a sentence or two about why expanding Medicaid and healthcare access in general is important to you.]


PRO TIPS

Change the message subject: This will let them know your email is not spam.

Keep it brief: Lawmakers receive lots of emails. If you write them a novel, they’re not going to read it.


TALKING POINTS

A personal, values-based message is best. But maybe mention a few of these things:

Tell the Revenue Committee:

SUPPORT MEDICAID EXPANSION FOR 2023!
