Join us in support of Cabrini Day in Colorado.

I ask that you write a letter of support and email it to me by January 15, 2020.  I know this is a short notice, however, if we wish to have the support of Colorado Representative Adrienne Benavidez, we must act now. 

A few things to keep in mind when writing your letter:

Personal letters (rather than group affiliation) will serve us better.  A letter addressed to a senator or representative generally contains the problems faced by an individual or the community as a whole. If, in the letter, you mention that you are affiliated to a certain pressure group, organization, political party, etc., your letter may not get the desired response or attention.

• A letter addressed to a senator or representative is written to make one's voice heard. 

• Letters written to representatives provide a medium through which citizens can complain about the problems faced by them. They can inform their representatives about these problems and push for the reforms or changes that they wish to bring about in the society or surroundings.

• One should be very particular about the facts and figures that are presented through such letters.

• Use a courteous tone in your letter. Keep your letter short and direct.

• Writing a concise letter saves the reader's time and puts your message across in an effective manner.

• It is advisable to send a typewritten letter instead of a handwritten one. However, if you wish to send a handwritten one, make sure it is legible and neat.
