Send a letter to your state
legislators from ASCE’s Online Advocacy Site!
Login to ASCE’s Internet Advocacy Website at http://www.asce.org/advocacy.html
to send a letter to your state legislators. Use your six-digit ASCE member
number for the “Name” and your last name for the “Password”. Click the “State
Advocacy” button at the top of the page. The website will provide you with a
sample message and talking points to help you craft your own personal message
to your lawmaker.
Please be sure to include your full postal address and contact information in
your message so that the legislator’s office can identify you as a
constituent and will know where to send a response. Please remember to send a
copy of your message to ASCE’s government relations office at govwash@asce.org. Alternatively, you
may choose the fax option to send your message.
Action Requested:
• Call, fax, or write to your legislators and urge them to oppose A.B. 1024.
• Let ASCE know of your action. Knowing which legislators are hearing from
their constituents can help us a great deal in working with them in the
future. Send copies of your correspondence to Lauren Bailey, ASCE's Manager
of State Government Relations, at lbailey@asce.org.
