Our representatives in Albany and Washington have a lot of ground to cover, and they can't be experts on every issue. They are more likely to pay attention to the issues that their constituents raise repeatedly - even relentlessly! When we lobby through visits, email, calls, and letters, our goal is to educate our representatives and to convey the strength of support for sexual and reproductive health and rights.
