If a bill does not make it out of committee or is not voted on during the two-year congressional session it is considered dead. If the bill is reintroduced in the next congressional session the bill number and/or identifying title will be different. Pay attention to this! Your letter will not get any attention if you are using an incorrect bill number. In the past few years students addressing the issue of nurse:patient ratios have used an old bill number to request help from their legislator. The bill number they are using has been reassigned to a bill protecting wild salmon for predators! Consider how this looks to the representative you are addressing.If you are referencing a statistic e.g. lives saved with lower ratios, provide your reference. In the case of ratios, your reference might be a published article from a journal. Provide the representative with your source.Make sure you have addressed each required element.
