TIPS FOR CONTACTING ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES:

Identify yourself as a constituent: Politicians are most interested in the opinions of people who can vote for them. Identify yourself as a constituent of the legislator you are contacting. 

One issue at a time: Whether writing, visiting or calling your legislators, focus on a single topic - like universal background checks. You'll be more effective and receive a faster response.

Be specific: Ask the legislator to take specific action, like sponsoring or voting for a piece of legislation. Ask for a written response that gives your legislator's position on the legislation, and your request.

Be brief: Make your points quickly and concisely to have the greatest impact.

Be polite: Be respectful when contacting your legislators. It is important to contact legislators even if you know they will disagree with your position. They need to hear from you, but always be respectful. Those who agree with you need to hear from you too.
