YOUR PERSONAL POLITICAL CONTACT TABLE


    
There is no more effective way to make your voice heard and have an influence on your town, state and nation than to personally contact the elected officials at the appropriate level. In the case of Congress often you can do this most effectively by a personal telephone call to one of the congressional delegation Maine offices. They receive thousands of e-mails daily but not many personal office calls.
