Locate the contact information for your
MI Senator:

MI Representative:
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 <last name> OR Dear Representative <last name>.

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.

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.)
