Community Legislative Information Missouri Legislators Look up your state officials at www.senate.mo.gov and www.house.mo.gov. Writing a letter to your state legislators is a great way to let them know what issues matter most to you. Consider the following suggestions when composing your letter: n I dentify yourself, the city in which you live, the school district where your children attend and anything else that might relate to the topic of your letter. n Identify the issue of concern and the bill number. n C learly state your position on an issue. Explain it in a manner that is understandable. Include only one issue per letter. n B e concise with your letters.
