Ability to Engage in National and Regional Communities GOVT 2305-National Communities Assignment: Write a letter to your U.S. House of Representatives Member
We have a Republic…if we can keep it.
What concerns you?
It is essential, in a legitimate government, for the voice of the people to be heard and heeded. Otherwise, our Republic won’t work. As citizens, it is our responsibility to reach out to those who govern us and direct their actions.
Write a three-paragraph (minimum) letter to your U.S. Representative outlining a problem you see with who gets what, where, when, why, and how, and your ideas for solutions to that problem. If this official has addressed that issue, give them constructive feedback on their approach. You should do a bit of research on the Rep’s stance—on a separate sheet of paper, include two correct citations in APA format for the sources you use.
Go to this website and put in your address to find your member of the U.S. House:

You should use formal business formatting for your outreach and submit your letter and works cited to your instructor. Remember to remain courteous in your writing!
