An Easy Way to Contact Your Legislators

The National PTA, through their website www.pta.org, has made it very easy for us to contact our legislators in Washington about issues that concern us and PTA, and to also see our legislator's voting record and other vital information about our legislators.

As if that's not enough, National PTA makes it even easier by listing topics of interest we can choose from and has pre-written letters. All we have to do is type in our name, hit a button and it's sent!

Here's how:

  • Access the National PTA's Elected Officials page: http://capwiz.com/npta2/dbq/officials/
    (You can also get here from the PTA's main page: www.pta.org => Issues and Action => Take Action => Elected Officials)
  • Either enter your zipcode and zipcode-plus, or enter the last name of the official you wish to email. Click Go.
  • You should see one of more officials. Click the info link to access contact and background information. Click the email link to select pre-written messages (which you are able to edit) or compose your own message. Add your name and contact information, click Send Message and off it goes!

Please take advantage of this extremely easy tool. National has done all the hard work, allowing us the ease and freedom to have our voices heard!
