California's Bipartisan Business Voice
Grassroots action by affected individuals making their views known to members of the Legislature and other policymakers is extremely effective. We encourage letters, e-mails, personal calls and visits to your legislators. Influencing legislation may also require influencing respected associates or other constitutional officers.
Contact from a constituent heightens interest in a bill like no other communication. Your letters do make a difference on proposed laws.
