Who receives my letter, and why?

A letter has the most effect when it reaches the people about to vote. So the recipients depend on where the bill is right now.

In committee

While a bill sits in a committee, your letter goes to the members of that committee, not only your own legislators. Committee members decide whether the bill moves forward, and they hear from people across the state on the bills before them. The letter screen names the committee, for example "Your letter goes to the members of the Judiciary Committee."

If we have no roster for that committee, the letter goes to your own legislator in that chamber instead.

On the floor

When a bill is waiting for a vote of the whole chamber, your letter goes to your own legislator in that chamber. In states where your district has more than one member, every one of them receives it.

U.S. Congress

Congressional offices take mail only from their own constituents. So for a bill in Congress, your letter always goes to your own member of the chamber the bill is in: your U.S. Representative for a House bill, or your two U.S. Senators for a Senate bill, at every stage.

When there is no one to write to

A bill that has passed, failed, been signed or vetoed, or is waiting on the governor, is not open to letters.
