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.
