Knowing Who to Ask
Once you've
figured out what you want, it's time to think
about who to ask. All of your communications
should be directed to the member of the Senate
who represents where you live or work - that's
how representative democracy works! Believe it
or not, constituents are the most important
and relevant people Senator Moore and his
colleagues deal with on a day-to-day basis.
One of the most common questions you'll hear
in an elected official's office in reference
to letters, phone calls, or meeting requests
is "Are they from the district?" If
the answer is yes, your questions, comments,
or concerns must be dealt with in some way.
That's why it
is vitally important that you communicate with
your own elected officials -- those who
represent you directly or who represent your
employees. They are the individuals over whom
you have the most influence. Senator Moore
represents the Worcester and Norfolk District.
His attention is focused on addressing the
needs of individuals who live within that
area.
