Letter to National Write Your Congressman

"I want to thank the National Write Your Congressman organization for working to keep Americans informed and involved in the democratic process.  Your organization's bipartisan effort should be commended.

I have always encouraged all West Virginians to reach out to me as often as possible.  I strongly believe in the philosophy of retail government - providing the best possible service to my constituents and being available to hear their ideas, priorities and concerns." -Senator Joe Manchin, III, West Virginia

Democracy Only Works When Americans Participate

"As I have always said, Arkansas Comes First, is more than just a slogan.  It is my commitment that as a U.S. Senator I will work hard every day to represent the interests and concerns of the prople of Arkansas.

Since a majority of my time is spent in Washington representing Arkansas, I welcome the thoughtful phone calls, emails and letters from constituents back home.  Whether a suggestion or a criticism, this correspondence helps me make the best possible decisions when casting votes or supporting legislation.  I also place responding to the incoming mail and phone calls among my highest priorities.

Democracy only works when Americans participate in their government, and when their voices a heard.  I encourage the National Write Your Congressman organization to continue its efforts in helping bring public officials and their consittuents together."  Mark Pryor, Senator, Arkansas
