Task 2 Writing a Letter to Congress

This unit has stressed that civic participation is an important part of a working democratic system and that there are many ways for a person to get
involved in this process. Voting is one important example, but concerned citizens also have the opportunity to write to their representatives at the state
and national levels. Because the legislative branch makes the laws, it is important to let your representatives know your thoughts on certain issues.
