Your State May Have Bad Laws
Trump and both houses of Congress are doing everything they can to pass laws, which in many cases are pretty dire. But do you know what’s going on in your state capital? It is likely the same thing. The difference is that you have more power here to stop it.
State laws often affect your life more than federal laws, but there is another reason to consider: Your state legislators have a lot less counties. This means that they are much more accessible than your federal representatives, and your voice can be one of the thousands they listen to, not millions. If you call your federal representatives, you should definitely call the state representatives as well.
