Pass The Labor Rate Bill

Using Our Sample Letters

At the heart of our efforts to get the Labor Rate Bill passed into law, is the message we need to deliver to every state legislator. We develop this message and post it, in the form of a letter, for you to mail, fax, or email to those who represent your interests at the State House.

The letter(s) we post on the site are just a guide to help you. But, the basic message should be used "as is" in the letters you send. We encourage you to add your own personal greetings and words, especially if you know the particular legislator to whom you are writing. Another thing we encourage you to do is to follow up your letters with a phone call. You can refer to the letter you sent in your phone conversation and use the sample telephone script we provide as a guide for the call.

The sample letters we post on the website are provided to help you communicate a clear message to your legislators. Most of the time, we will have just one letter posted for you to use, but the letter will change as the Labor Rate Bill moves through the Senate and House of Representatives. At many points in the journey to getting the bill passed into law, the message will changed - one time being pointed specifically towards one person or a small group, other times towards a large group of legislative leaders. We will post details of when letters need to be sent and who to send them to, most likely on the home page. If you have any questions about which letter to send and to whom, please call the office at (617) 484-0205 for your answers.
