Sample Letter for Campaign

Subject: Please Sign A606/S2007

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

I am writing to ask for your support of A606/S2007 which has passed both houses of the legislature and awaits your approval. The bill requires public utilities to provide call center services from areas located in New York State.

I am a union member and we are working closely with the NYS AFL-CIO to enact this bill into law. This bill will protect union jobs from further outsourcing, many of which are held by women and minorities and it will help improve customer service and safety.

I hope we can count on you to sign this very important legislation.

Sincerely,
