LETTER OF SUPPORT/CONCERN TEMPLATE

Date

Representative/Senator

Address

Dear Representative/Senator_____,

I am writing you today as a _________ and member/supporter of Minnesota Trout Unlimited asking you to support legislation to:

Example, use bill information on the Advocacy page: curb the use of pesticides, especially neonicotinoids and neonicotinoid treated seeds in Minnesota. HF2472/SF1718 would close a regulatory loophole that allows pesticide treated seeds to escape all tracking or regulation by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture and ensures they are used only when beneficial. HF2805/SF1915 would eliminate unnecessary non-agricultural neonic use.

I am concerned about this because…. Tell your story in a few sentences. How does this issue impact you and your community personally? Use any  of the talking points included on the information pages for Agricultural Runoff, Fishkills, Nitrates, Neonics, and Groundwater.

I urge you to take action on this issue today to protect coldwater fisheries and ensure future generations of anglers can exercise their right to fish on local trout streams.

Sincerely,

Name
