How to Call Your Legislators
Talking to your legislator is key to making a difference. You need to however be sure to be prepared before your call to make it the most effective. To prepare:
Make a list of the key points you wish to make during your call.
If you are going to discuss that EMG is the practice of medicine use these
EMG Talking Points
.
If you are going to discuss the impact of the CMS cuts use the
Cuts Talking Points
.
Consider including information from the
AANEM’s Impact Statement on Distal Symmetric Polyneuropathy
, which shows the costs of not getting the correct diagnosis.
Review your facts, including any available resource materials.
Guidelines for calling your legislators are included on page six in the Legislative Advocacy Guide.
How to Write Your Legislators
Personal letters outlining key points of an issue are an effective tool when communicating with legislators. Letters should be brief and to the point. Letters are the main source used by legislators to assess their constituencies’ views.
Guidelines for writing to your legislators are included on page seven in the Legislative Advocacy Guide.
