Write to Congress
Write to Congress about an issue or bill without starting from a blank page.
Send a written constituent message about an issue or bill without facing a blank page. Choose your position, and Modern Action drafts the message.
Writing to Congress means sending a constituent message to your senators or House representative. You do not need to know a bill number, understand committee procedure, or draft legislation before you begin.
Modern Action explains the available legislative path, asks where you stand and why, and drafts a clear constituent message. You can edit anything that does not sound right, then send when you are ready.

How it works
How the draft is built
- 1
Start with the issue or bill
Choose what you care about. Modern Action shows the relevant bill or subject action page when one is available.
- 2
Add one reason
Choose or add a local, personal, professional, or policy reason that Modern Action should include.
- 3
Send a clear message
Modern Action drafts the subject, context, and specific ask. You edit if needed, then send.
A good message makes the request easy to understand.
The message should name the issue or decision, state where you stand, give the reason that matters to you, and ask the office to take a specific action.
Modern Action builds those elements from your answers and the relevant legislative context. You can edit the draft before sending so the final message still reflects what you mean.
Specific does not have to mean long.
A useful message can be concise. State where you stand, explain why, and make one specific request that the office can answer.
Modern Action organizes the relevant legislative context and drafts the message so you can focus on what you believe and what you want your representatives to do.
Useful answers
Common questions
How do I write to Congress?
Choose the issue or bill, answer clear questions about where you stand, and add any reason you want included. Modern Action connects your position to a specific ask and drafts the message for you to send.
Should I use a form letter?
Modern Action does not hand every user the same letter. It drafts from the positions and reasons you select, includes relevant legislation when available, and lets you edit the result before sending.
Do I need a full address?
Yes. Congressional offices use address information to confirm that you are a constituent and route the message correctly.
