Our representatives in Albany and Washington D. C. 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, e-mail, calls, and letters, our goal is to educate our representatives and to convey the strength of support for sexual and reproductive health and rights.
