SAMPLE LETTER THAT YOU CAN USE TO WRITE TO YOUR LEGISLATOR ... RE: (state the topic or include the bill number, author and subject if you are writing ...

Dear (Local Representatives Name),

   My name is (Your Name) and I am researching out as a young community member that resides in your district and am concerned with enviormental threats that have been affecting this region.

  As a young advocate for the health and well-being of all residents of my community, I have become aware of, and very concerned for, the health of the groundwater supply in my area. I have learned that there are many threats to our local groundwater supply such as uncontrolled hazardous waste, pesticides, septic systems, fertilizers, and contaminants from construction sites. I have found that most of these human activities are not regulated well enough by the government or environmental agencies.

  The youth of our community, our state, and our nation are being subject to known and unknown contaminants due to the disregard of groundwater protection and safety. According to epa.gov, (the Environmental Protection Agency), the ‘laundry list’ of culprits affecting the groundwater range from the golf courses and boatyards, to manufacturing plants and to household run off. This goes to show how many different and separate areas of our community that need to be evaluated and subject to a new better bill to protect the groundwater that all of us depend on.

  I am so passionate about this, not only because I want to better the environment, but also to better the lives of the people and animals where I live. Last year, my friend's dog was exposed to some runoff water that had been contaminated by motor oil from a nearby building construction site and became very ill. This was a very sad experience for my friend and her family and also myself but luckily her puppy recovered. Although, it did not comfort us that other animals could not have met a worse fate or that we were being protected ourselves.

  I implore you, (Local Representative's Name), on behalf of myself and the community that you represent to help create and pass a bill that will expand upon and further the current Clean Water Act and in turn, build upon our future as an environmentally conscious district that cares for the future of one of our purest and most important resources, water.

                                                                          Sincerely, (Your Name).

Explanation:

Hope this helps, this is for an enviornmental law bill btw. This is also about 350 words.

(Local Representative's Name) means to write your local representative's name there, just look up the local representatives that are in your state.

(Your Name) means to just put your name there, preferably you should put your first and last cause that's what you would do in an actual letter.

explanation:

here are some major conflicts i found. maybe pick one and do more research on it. (cause i ain't writing 6 paragraphs)

in 1877, the nez perce war took place.

1881 - president james garfield was assassinated.

1882 - the chinese exclusion act was passed.

1883 - a decision in the civil rights cases legalized racial segregation in the united states.

1887 - the dawes act was passed.

1893 - the panic of 1893 took place. (what a creative name)

and there are probably other topics you can find if you just search up "united states timeline," or "conflicts in the 19th century for america."

then once you find a topic you like find out how it affected the people of america and what not. (sorry if this feels a bit short changed, history was and never will be one of my strong topics)
