SAMPLE EMAIL: Dear LEGISLATOR NAME AND TITLE, As your constituent, I’m writing to request that you contact the Chairs of the Joint Committee on Education, Senator Jason Lewis and Rep. Alice Peisch, to ask them to report favorably on bill H468 (https://malegislature.gov/Bills/191/H468). This is a very important bill that when passed will help Massachusetts school districts implement healthier school start times as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. (Joint Committee on Education hearing date for this bill: September 4th) Chronic adolescent sleep deficiency is a pervasive problem across Massachusetts, and passing this bill is an important step towards helping school districts make positive changes that have been shown to benefit students’ health, safety, academic and athletic performance. This issue is very important to me, and I appreciate any action you can take to further the progress of bill H468. Thank you, (your name and address) |
