Some people say that when writing to your Republican congressperson you should be polite and keep the tone civil or even friendly. Actually that’s not true because it’s not the way you really feel and doing so might stifle your creativity as well as not make your point forcefully enough. To help those who, like me, have a host of Republican representatives here are some helpful tips.
To begin, just let your emotions flow. Don’t hold back and use a conversational approach as if you were actually in front of your Representative speaking your mind. Type whatever your heart tells you.
Next, set up macros in Word to make corrections to your missive. I use the Search/Replace feature a lot. One I find handy is <search=dumb shit motherfucker> <replace=Congressperson >. Another I find handy is <search=pull your head out of your ass> <replace=keep an open mind>. Less frequently I use <search=step outside and say that to my face> <replace=I look forward to discussing this with you further>.
I’m sure you’ll find these tools and techniques handy in composing correspondence with your representative, I know I do.
