===== Here are a few tips and talking points:  **Who & Where** Locate the contact information for your\\ MI Senator:\\ https://www.senate.michigan.gov/FindYourSenator/\\ MI Representative:\\ [[https://www.senate.michigan.gov/FindYourSenator/|https:%%//%%www.house.mi.gov/Index]] **General Tips** * Be courteous and respectful. * Thank them for serving your community. * Let them know you are their constituent. * Tell them why you care personally. * Make sure to ask their opinion. * End on a positive note. * Handwritten makes a stronger impression than typed. \\ **Greeting** When writing, address them as //Dear Senator // OR //Dear Representative .// **Body** **Tell them WHY YOU SUPPORT 34Ready Legislation.** **//Possible Reasons//** * Ensuring that you will be represented at an Article V Convention (Only 34 states are needed to call an Article V Convention. That means a Convention could happen without Michigan calling for it.) * Eliminate last-minute decisions about commissioner selection. (Currently, Michigan doesn't have an established selection process on the books.) * Clarify the limits to a commissioner’s authority at the convention. * Put appropriate legal penalties in place to deter abuse of power and/or coercion.\\ \\ Learn more about 34Ready [[https://conventionofstates.com/miourlegislativegoals|here]] or by watching [[https://youtu.be/3WrJFDdvScM|this video]]. **Closing** * If your family, neighbors, or co-workers agree, share their thoughts too. * Ask them to support the 34Ready legislation that is being introduced. * Ask what they think. (Do they want Michigan to be represented at an Article V Convention?) * Under your signature include your home address and the county you live in (so they recognize you as a constituent.)   **Review the 34Ready legislation:** https://conventionofstates.com/miourlegislativegoals https:%%//%%youtu.be/3WrJFDdvScM   [[https://conventionofstates.com/mipetition|Sign the Petition]] [[https://hosted-page.civiclick.com/?campaign_ref=2127|{{https://content.conventionofstates.com/cosaction-prod/public/content/images/80301/80301_original.png?350x202}}]]  ==== UPCOMING EVENTS ==== \\ \\ \\ [[https://www.cossimulation2023.org/|{{https://static.wixstatic.com/media/ad5f0d_928a9a4739ec4552a2d33198b707420d~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_600,h_135,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/logowithwhite.png?600x135|Watch 2023 & 2016 Simulated Conventions}}]]\\ \\ [[https://conventionofstates.com/mirequestpresenter|{{https://content.conventionofstates.com/cosaction-prod/public/content/images/80305/80305_original.png?350x202}}]][[https://conventionofstates.com/micontactus|CONTACT US]] [[https://conventionofstates.com/ham-radio|{{https://content.conventionofstates.com/cosaction-prod/public/content/images/83509/83509_big.jpg?350x202}}]] {{https://content.conventionofstates.com/cosaction-prod/public/content/images/81777/81777_original.jpg?1730x42}}
