Legislative Letter

Legislative Letter

Identify a current piece of legislation affecting comprehensive case management and specifically your Population of Interest. Identify a local or national legislative contact (i.e., a senator, congressperson, or local lawmaker). After learning about the legislation, compose a professional letter to your identified contact supporting or contesting the passing of the legislation.

Directions:

In this assessment, you will research your POI and find a current legislative issue related to your POI. Once you have identified this issue, you will identify a lawmaker/legislator that you can contact regarding this issue. You may contact a local, state, or national lawmaker. Once you have identified the issue and lawmaker, you will write a professional letter and send this letter to the lawmaker. You will also submit a copy of the letter to the Dropbox. Please consult the Writing Center on how to write a professional letter. This letter may be mailed or emailed to the lawmaker.

Assessment Requirements:

Create a professional letter to a lawmaker that includes the following:

● Short introduction of yourself/how you are connected to the POI.

● Summary of your POI.

● Discussion of how the current law/proposed legislation affects the POI.

● Suggestion for action: what you would like this lawmaker to do regarding this legislation.

● Closing statement/summary.
