Washington Office 547-4440 by CluesJay, 7-l.pril 9, 1985 WAYS TO COMMUNICATE WITH LEGISLATORS ~ PERSCNAL VISITS. Faoe to face discussion is the m:>st effective neans of oamunication, and essential to the establisbnent of a solid workin;J re­ lationship if you do oot already krow each other. A meeting is nore easily arranged early in a session, before pressures l:uild up. All legislators have one or m:,re district offices. Visits there will often be m:,re convenient for you than in washin:Jt,on. Members of Congress return pericxlically (check with the district office), during Congressional recesses, and between sessions. Constituents are always weloane in wash:i.n:Jton. Be sure you have a firm appointment. Use the district office to make local or capitol appointments. (Get to koow district staffs: secretaries and administrative assistants. Close workin;J relationships will benefit in many ways.) Take aloD:3 others -- library director, trustee, Frien:l, representative of a cx:rmuni.ty organization, citizen activist. Keep the delegation snail enough for an easy exchange of viewpoints with the legislator. Leave your card and any written infonnation you may have prepared. Follow up with a letter of awreciation for the time given to you, and in:::l\Xle aey additional infonnation suggested by the visit. · jllll!!~~• TELEPHCNE CALLS. ~ you have nade the acquaintance of your representative, ~ teleph:>ne calls are approptiate and easy. Make~ sparingly to the ---- legislator, wh:>se time is heavily occupied. (Regular oontact with staff is possible and desirable.) Teleph:me to ask suwcrt before a hearing or floor vote; to ask for help with legislative colleagues; to convey urgent local ooncenl. JUdge h::M far to pirsue by the reaction. Remsnber that it is m:>re difficult for a legislator to tanporize in a conversation than by letter. LET1'ERS, IETl'ERS, IE'.I'1ERS. 'lhese are the chief fuel which powers any ~ legislative vehicle. They are read. They elicit responses. They -~ represent votes. (Fach letter writer is deaned to represent several like-mimed if less highly m:>tivated oonstituents.) letters may be fonnal or infonnal, typewritten or han::lwritten. They sh:>uld be oanp;:>serl by you, giving your reasons for your position (and giving the legislator reasons to support it). If you are askin;J su:RJC)rt for a particular bill, cite it by number and autinr, and give its title or subject matter. TEIBiRAMS & .MAIIGRAM.S. These are fast, easy ways to cxmrunicate with legislators when the need for action is critical: just prior to a cx:mnittee or floor vote. Use western Union's nationwide toll-free teleph:>ne number: 800-325-6000,. Varia.ls low rates are available. * * * FIVE ~IC RJIES FOO Ef'Fl:X.:l'IVE CXJMJNICATIOO 1. Be Brief. A legislator's time is limited. So is yairs. 2. Be Appreciative. Acklx,wledge past SlJRlOrt, ard convey thanks for current action. 3. Be ~ific. Refer to local library and district needs. · 4. Be onnative. Give reasons why a measure sln1ld be suwarta:1. 5. Be Courteous. Ask; do oot danan:1 or threaten. Be positive hlt polite. AJA Washington Office, with thanks to california Library Association. The most frequently used, correct forms of address are: To your Senator: To your Representative: The Honorable (full name) The Honorable (full name) United States Senate U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20510 Washington, D.C. 20515 "Sincerely yours" is in good taste as a complimentary close. Remember to sign your given name and surname. If you use a title in your signature, be sure to enclose it in parentheses. Forms similar to the above, addressed to your state capital, are appropriate for your state representatives and senators. Where possible use your official letterhead. If this is not in order, and you write as an individual, use plain white bond paper, and give your official title following your signature as a means of identification and to indicate your competency to speak on the subject. DO's DON'Ts 1. Your Legislators like to hear opinions from home and 1. Avoid letters that merely demand or insist on votes for or want to be kept informed of conditions in the district. against a certain bill; or that say what vote you want but Base your letter on your own pertinent experiences and not why.

  • Italians Vs. Themselves: the Rocky Path to Political Empowerment in Metropolitan Chicago
    James Scalzitti ILP for H4 Competence Summer - Fall, 2014 Italians vs. Themselves: The Rocky Path to Political Empowerment in Metropolitan Chicago Italian Americans have been part of Chicago since before it was incorporated as a city, and for at least the past half century there have been Italian Americans throughout the ranks of government in the city and its suburbs. While there has been a significant Italian presence in the Chicago area for much of its history — with numerous neighborhoods and suburbs identified as “Italian;” dozens of festivals celebrating the ancestral homes of these immigrants; and certainly the annual Columbus Day Parade, during which politicians of all backgrounds jostle for position at the front of the line of march — the same ethnic pride that gives the metropolitan area a robust Italian cultural flavor hasn’t translated into commensurate political power. My task for this project, defined by the competency requirements, was to analyze the power relations between at least two racial, social or cultural groups in the United States. The main group that I wanted to focus on is the Chicago-area Italian-American community. By employing both theoretical and qualitative research, I explored how they have risen to positions of political power over the last century, and what obstacles they have encountered along the way. I also endeavored to uncover their current state of political influence and what that can tell us about their political future in the metropolitan area. That being decided, I still needed to identify that “other” group to which I would compare and contrast the Italian-American community.

  • Support Comprehensive Sanctions Against South Africa
    SUPPORT COMPREHENSIVE SANCTIONS AGAINST SOUTH AFRICA Comprehensive Sanctions are a necessary response to the continuing violent repression of the black majority and imprisonment of trade union leaders by South Africa's apartheid government. In October of 1986, the U.S. Congress enacted a limited sanctions law which represented an important step towards ending U.S. support for the apartheid government and economy. However, the law's provisions are limited and U.S. companies and the Reagan Administration have exploited the loopholes in the current law. Stronger legislation was therefore introduced in Congress in early 1987 which mandates total disinvestment of all U.S. companies within six months of passage of the bill, and includes stronger sections of the present sanctions law. The proposed legislation will ban virtually all trade with South Africa and provide penalties against those companies who violate the trade ban . The proposed le~slation is H. R. 1580 I S. 2378 . H. R. 1580 is sponsored by Congressman Ronald Dellums and co-spsonsored by more than 100 Congresspersons. S. 2378 is sponsored by Senators Alan Cranston and Ted Kennedy. These bills are endorsed by many U.S. unions and the AFL-CIO. Comprehensive Sanctions and disinvestment are strongly supported by South Africa's trade unions. The Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU), the country's largest labor federation, continues its plea for the U.S. to take action against the apartheid regime which bans their strikes, jails their leaders, and bars their protests. ACTION NEEDED NOW! The Cranston/Kennedy bill, S. 2378, needs additional co-sponsors immediately! Contact Senator Alan Dixon to urge him to co-sponsor.
