Legislators are busy individuals and do not have extra time to sort through pages and pages of documents.

They have little time and need a brief, concise overview of what the policy entails and why they should support its passage.

Consider the relationship of government to the creation of policy and describe how your legislator's support will assist the creation of the policy for which you are lobbying in your resource.
Use appropriate references so your legislator may understand why he or she should support the potential policy.
