Visits to Congressional Home District Offices

 

Experienced advocates say that nothing works better than an in-person meeting with a member of Congress and his or her staff. Take advantage of Congressional recesses to connect with your Congressional representatives. Or pay a visit to home office staff even if the Representative or Senator isn't in town.


Here are some tools to help you prepare for these visits:

  1. Working to restore NHPRC's FY2008 appropriation: Guidelines for visits to Congressional home offices

Take the following along with you to leave with the representative or his/her staff.

If you can, adapt them to fit the special interests of the representative or circumstances in your state.
