Often it is our state legislatures—not Washington—that control the nation’s cultural climate. The impact you can have by contacting state lawmakers with your views on laws affecting Tennessee families cannot be underestimated.

You can protect our families by calling, writing and praying for your representatives. Each Tennessean is represented by two elected officials in the legislature: one in the Senate and one in the House of Representatives. Bills must pass both houses to become law, so please remember both in your prayers and communication efforts. No matter who you are, you can make a positive difference: When lawmakers know their constituents care enough about an issue to contact them, often their vote is swayed.

To contact your legislator, first find your state Senator or find your state Representative. Then mail all correspondence in care of their names to Nashville, TN 37243. Or you may reach any legislator by telephone at (800) 449-8366.
