Dear Senator [insert the name of the senator you are writing to],               

  • MAKE IT CLEAR WHAT YOU ARE WRITING ON
    [For example, “I am writing to support H. 4919: An Act relative to Kennel Safety — Ollie’s Law.”]

  • NOTE YOUR REASONS/EXPERIENCE
    [This is a good place to talk about your own personal experience, whether it is because of your dog being injured, because you care about animals generally, volunteer with animals, have worked in a dog daycare/boarding facility, etc.]

  • WHAT THE BILL DOES/WHY YOU THINK IT SHOULD PASS
    [Add a few points about what the bill does that will benefit our community. Reference our Ollie's Law Fact Sheet for inspiration and ideas.]

  • YOUR "ASK"
    [Ask your senator to support Ollie's Law. For example, “I urge you to support these bills so that they may advance through the legislative process and become law.”].


 Respectfully Submitted,
