Making an appointment with the House representative of your district is never easy. Your congressman, after all, is a very busy man. Because your chances of landing a personal appointment are slim to none, you have to find an alternative way of conveying your messages to your congressman. One effective way of establishing communication with your representative is by sending a message to his or her email account.
The House of Representatives has launched a new email service that allows the citizens of the United States of America to forward their inquiries, concerns, suggestions, praises, or criticisms to their respective congressmen online. It’s called Write Your Representative.
Sending important emails
The first step in sending an email to your state representative is to click the Write Your Representative link on the upper right part of the House of Representatives homepage. On the Writer Your Representative webpage, which was directed from the eponymous link on the homepage, you are required to do three things: select your state from the pull-down menu, enter your zip code and 4-digit zip code extension on the blank field, and verify your information on the Contact My Representative button. If the details you specified are accurate, you will be directed to the contact information page of the congressman in your district.
The contact information page of your congressman also features a “Send a Message to (Name of Congressman)” link that directs you to the official website of your congressman upon clicking. The direct link to the Email-Your-Congressman page where you can enter your personal information and your important message to the congressman is usually found on the Contact Information page of the Congressman’s official website.
