The leaders of our country are elected officials. They are made leaders because people vote for them to do the job. Leaders work for the people. That means that we, the people, must communicate with them about what to do. We must let our elected officials know what we think.

Elected officials listen when people who vote for them talk. They want and need to hear from you. You have the right to communicate with elected officials who represent you. But many people do not. Some people feel afraid or do not know how to tell their elected officials what they think. The information that follows will help you communicate with your elected officials.

There are many reasons to communicate with your elected officials. You may want to thank them for something they have done; ask them to take some sort of action.;or  let them know how you feel about concerns such as education, crime, taxes or the environment.
