The Next Steps: Having Your Voice Heard
What is the point of these strong opinions and heated research if we don't share it? I challenge each of you to use your well research and well worded opinions to have an impact. First question: who needs to hear your speech? A senator for Missouri? The school principal? A celebrity fan club? Look at the list below for some contact information. You may need to do your own research to find an email address to contact other people or companies. Second question: using personal information. Are you comfortable telling the person who you are? If so, use your first name and last initial. Never give out your address or phone number. If you want them to contact you, give your school email. If you're not comfortable sharing any information, then use mine!

Third question: As your filling out contact forms, include as much information as you can. Not sure what a word means? Look it up! www.dictionary.com works well :) Ms. Panther is busy grading speeches and cannot help you. Fourth question: after you copy and paste your speech into an email or comment box, think about adding an additional first sentence (i.e. As a concerned citizen, I think you should know my thoughts on this important topic) or greeting (i.e. Dear Dr. Springsten) as needed.
