California Residents - Send a fax to key policy makers supporting the recommendations in the report The Sound of Silence


In order to help "make the case" in support of the recommendations contained in this report, policymakers in California need to here from California residents. We have been informed the best way to communicate with these leaders is through fax, letter, or phone call.

We have created a sample letter for California Citizens to use. Simply download this letter, address it to the appropriate person (a list of address and contact numbers may be found below) and either fax or mail your letter. Be sure to include your return address and phone number to identify yourself as a California resident.
