I would discourage form letters. Use this as a GUIDE only.
Change the wording to reflect YOU and make it personal. It is better
to send a short personal letter than a longer form letter. Sending
a post-card is another option.

Dear Senator (Name) or Representative (Name):
IN THE BEGINNING SAY WHY YOU ARE WRITING THIS LAWMAKER, SUCH
AS:
I am writing as a concerned constituent in support of the State
Planning for Increased Community Access Bill (HB 680) which protects
the public by mandating alternative practitioners to provide disclosures
and disclaimers to their clients and protects the consumers right
to choose alternative medicine. It also protects alternative practitioners
from being charged with the practice of medicine unless they truly
are practicing allopathic medicine.
IN THE MIDDLE SAY WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT TO YOU, SUCH AS:
As a consumer, I believe that passage of this bill will allow me
to utilize the services of my alternative practitioner without placing
my practitioner at risk of prosecution for a technical violation
of the law OR as a consumer, I believe that I have the knowledge
to make my own health care choices OR as a consumer, I believe that
I have the right to choose my type of health care provider OR as
a practitioner of (Hypnotherapy or whatever you practice), I believe
I should be allowed to responsibly practice my profession within
the guidelines of this bill OR ... insert whatever is important
to you. The State Planning for Increased Community Access Bill will
allow for self-regulation of safe natural therapies. It will protect
the public through disclaimers and disclosures and protect my right
to choose my own therapy and therapist without unnecessary regulation
and expense to the State.
YOU MAY WANT TO INSERT A SHORT PERSONAL STORY HERE.
AT THE END ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT, SUCH AS:
I ask you to please support my right to choose my own health care
practitioner based on my own intelligence, research, and knowledge
of the disclaimers and disclosures provided by the alternative practitioners
under this legislation.
Thank you for your time; and I await your response.
Sincerely,
|
