Contact Your Representatives in Washington

Write a brief letter urging your elected representatives to support rehabilitation of the St. Mary Diversion and Conveyance Works. It’s easy and it’s extremely effective.

Basic Tips for Writing Letters

The most effective letter is personal and not a form letter. Think about it as a letter to a friend who wants to hear your opinion on an issue.

Clearly identify yourself in the first paragraph. If you are writing as a constituent, a president of an organization, or a chairperson of an association, indicate this.

Keep your letter brief and to the point -- no longer than one page. You can always attach additional information or send follow-up letters.

Each letter should address only one issue. Clearly state the reason you are writing in the first paragraph. If your letter pertains to specific legislation, identify the legislation by bill number and/or subject.

Explain your strong personal connection to the need to ensure a stable water supply for the Milk River Basin.

Conclude your letter by urging the representative to take action and ask for a reply.

Sending Letters to Montana's Congressional Delegation

Fax or email are the quickest ways to deliver your message to Washington. Due to ongoing concerns with terrorism, letters sent via the U.S. Postal Service should be mailed to the field offices who will forward the message to Washington, D.C.
