Dear Members of the Dept. of Mississippi
It’s time to get “BUZZIN” on this year’s Legislative programs.
Your Legislative Committee for this year is Sue McGuire, Chairman;
Patricia Trest; Diane Lawrence; and Chris Lee. Their addresses
can be found in the Legislative Plan of Action. The plan is linked on
this page in PDF format for your convenience.
This year, as in the past, it is important to keep abreast of issues
concerning our Veterans. An important source of information on
these and other issues may be found in the American Legion
publication “The Dispatch.” We encourage all Units to subscribe
to this publication. A subscription to the Dispatch is $15 per year
and may be ordered by calling the American Legion Dispatch at
317.630.1298 or by writing to The American Legion Dispatch,
P.O. Box 1055, Indianapolis, IN 46206.

* When writing to the chair of a committee or the Speaker of the House, it is proper to address
them as "Dear Mr. Chairman or Madam Chairwoman:" or "Dear Mr. Speaker:"
* Purpose of your letter: your purpose for writing should be be stated in the first paragraph of
the letter. If the letter pertains to a specific piece of legislation, identify it accordingly, e.g.,
House bill: H.R. ____; Senate bill: S. ____.
* Be courteous, to the point, and include key information, using examples to support your
position.
* Address only one issue in each letter; and, if possible, keep the letter to one page.
Sending E-mail to Congress:
When addressing an e-mail to a member of Congress, follow the same suggestions as for a
printed letter. For the subject line of your e-mail, identify your message by topic or bill number.
The body of your message should use this format:
