Take Action!

It is easy and important to get to know your legislators and inform them about issues facing Michigan’s out-of-doors. Check this page often as it will be updated when there is an issue which requires your immediate attention. We will provide draft letters, fact sheets and draft wording so you can directly contact your legislator. In addition, you can find out who represents you in the Michigan House of Representatives, (link) Michigan Senate, (link) and the Michigan Congressional delegation. At these links, you will be able to identify your legislator and their address, phone number, toll-free number (if available), email address and fax number. Personal letters are most effective but faxes, phone calls and email are also very powerful. Another very important means of making a difference, is to schedule an appointment to meet with your legislators, either in Lansing or in their district. MUCC staff will be happy to help set up such appointments and go with you to the meeting. Usually it takes very few contacts from a legislator’s constituents to make a difference! A couple of tips to make sure that your message is heard by the legislator:
  • Introduce yourself and make sure that they know you are their constituent
  • State your position and what action you wish the legislator to take. Be factual and explain how it impacts your local area.
  • Be a good listener
  • Ask for the legislator for support with a direct question
  • Thank them for their time and support
Here are the state government hyper-links to find your legislators. Use the interactive map and let your elected officials know your position.
