Letter to State Representative 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 state representative on an issue that is important to you and your ideas for solutions to that problem. If this official has addressed that issue, give him/her constructive feedback on their approach. You should do a bit of research on the representative’s stance. On a separate sheet of paper, include two correct citations in APA format for the sources you use. You should use formal business formatting for your outreach.
