Contact
Your State Senator or Delegate
There
are two web-based methods you can use to contact your State Legislators:
The Maryland
Legislature maintains a Web Site that you can use to contact your Senator or
Delegate. To use it, visit http://mlis.state.md.us/mgaweb/mail32.aspx,
and select the legislator’s name from the drop-down list. If the
legislator accepts e-mail (I hope most of them do today), you will get a link
to send them e-mail. Click on that link. If you normally use Microsoft Outlook,
it will pop up ready to send the email. On the other hand, if you use some
other mail system (I use gmail.com), you have more work to do. You will have to
copy the legislator’s address from the Outlook message, dismiss that
window, open your email tool or web page, and paste the address into a new
message. Then you can enter the text you want to send to the legislator. From
time to time, we will suggest messages we would like Maryland members to send
to Annapolis on upcoming bills of interest to all of us (such as SB 28 and HB
315 this year).
The
other method is to visit http://mdelect.net/.
This site, run by the Maryland State Archives allows you to enter your address,
and it will tell you who your Federal and State legislators are. There are links
to their web sites. Some have e-mail tools built in,
others will link into Outlook, as above.
