Tips for emails opposing HB2002

Emails to legislators can be long or short, but please know it’s unlikely they will read something too long or difficult to read.

• Email every Representative EVERY DAY between now and May 1.

• Always be polite, respectful, and professional!

• PLEASE INCLUDE the point that this bill summary AND bill measure are convoluted and nearly impossible for the average Oregonian to understand. “How can you vote for a bill you don’t even thoroughly understand?!”

• When emailing, include the bill number and your stance in the subject line. Maybe make the subject something like: “HB2002 is convoluted and erodes the parent/child relationship. Oppose!”

• If you are a constituent of the legislator, add “from constituent” in the subject and body of your email. Those hold more weight. (If you don’t know who represents you, find out HERE.)

• Remember, our reasons for contacting our legislators isn’t just to voice our disagreement. It’s also important to contact legislators who agree with us. They will know how much we support them which might encourage them to fight even harder for us. They appreciate our support!

• Do your best to be concise.

• Use proper grammar and proofread it before sending to correct any errors.
