Assignment: Write a letter to your U.S. Representative
We have a Republic…if we can keep it.
What concerns you?
It is essential, in a legitimate government, for the voice of the people to be heard and
heeded. Otherwise, our Republic won’t work. As citizens, it is our responsibility to
reach out to those who govern us and direct their actions.
Write a three-paragraph (minimum) letter to your U.S. Representative outlining a
problem you see with who gets what, where, when, why, and how, and your ideas for
solutions to that problem. If this official has addressed that issue, give them
constructive feedback on their approach. You should do a bit of research on the Rep’s
stance—on a separate sheet of paper, include two correct citations in APA
format for the sources you use.
You should use formal business formatting for your outreach and submit your letter and
works cited to your instructor. Remember to remain courteous in your writing!
This assignment will count for 10% of your final grade. You may find the Purdue
OWL website helpful for formatting your communication:
