This letter should be about a FLORIDA or federal level bill that is currently in the process somewhere. If you have been working on a policy that has already passed, please pick a current bill that is not yet law from the Florida or Congress.gov legislative site. The bill must be FLORIDA or FEDERAL. You may not choose a bill from another state.
For this assignment, prepare a draft of a letter to a legislator presenting your position on an issue and your recommendations for action regarding a specific proposed policy. Note: Students will NOT be required to actually send the letter.
This should be to an appropriate legislator who is on a committee that might deal with the issue; the letter should be formatted appropriately as a professional letter, and should identify why you have chosen to write to that person, what you think s/he might be able to do on the issue, and specifically what you would like the legislator to do.
You are being assessed here on: whether you can identify the right person to send a letter to in order to have an impact, whether you can present professionally and clearly, whether you can express a compelling argument, and whether you are clear about what you are asking the person to do.
