What You Can Do To Help Your Representatives Understand The Importance of This Issue

Members of the printing industry, especially those with strong commitments to mailing and fulfillment, may be impacted in an extremely negative way unless members of the legislature act reasonably on postal reform.

It is vital that PIM members contact Minnesota Senator and Representatives to make their voice heard. The action must start with business management and progress to employees of printing companies and those companies servicing the printing industry.

Included in this handout are the names and addresses of Minnesota’s elected officials in Washington, D.C. You will also find their fax numbers and information on how to contact them via e-mail. Two sample letters will help you draft your correspondence.

Within the next two weeks, please make contact with each elected official voicing your concern about the negative impact you will face if they make the wrong decisions about postal reform. Also included with this handout is information to start a grassroots campaign to involve other companies who will feel the impact of the postal reform decisions. This relies on the great principle of democracy – the vote. Let your representatives know that how they vote will affect how you vote!

All of this information is available as a Microsoft Word document if you prefer to work from that. Please contact Anna Blomster at ablomster@pimn.org to request the Word file. If you find a strategy that you believe is very effective, please let PIM know so we can share the information with other members.

Together we can protect our businesses from excessive expenses that threaten them.
