Paragraph Number VOLUNTARY ACTIONS INTRODUCTION The purpose of TOBACCO: Issues/Answers/Actions is not only to inform you of the issues facing our industry and to offer responses to the challenges it faces, but also to suggest how you can act voluntarily as a private citizen to help defend our industry. There are several actions you can take. You can write your congressman or the editor of your local newspaper. You can speak strongly for the industry at social gatherings. You can respond to television editorials or participate in call-in shows. This section outlines the valuable ways you can bring before the public the information presented in preceding sections. Again, it is inportant to note that the actions out- lined in these sections are the voluntary actions of a concerned private citizen. Because of the controversy surrounding our indistry, it is important that statements of Brown & Williamson corporate policy be made only by designated corporate spokespersons. Recipients of this book cannot, of course, fill the role of authorized spokespersons. But it is just as important that you, as an informed individual, make yo•ir own statements in defense of our industry. W22TE YOUR REPRESENTATIVE A majority of ;:~eople feel that their views and concerns toward public issue=i are disregarded by elected officials. Often they become f-ustrated and cynical and remove them- selves from the polLtical process. Government then becomes a servant to organized political minorities. The individual is bypassed. The truth is that elected officials want to hear the views of their voting constituents. In many cases elected officials are just :is frustrated by an apathetic electorate as constituents are with their representatives. A personal let;:er is often the most effective way of doing this. Use th=: following guidelines to write an effective letter: Write your let~:er legibly or type it on your personal stationery. Person=il letters on personal stationery will have an impact.

Paragraph Number Be sure you si~rn your name over your typed signature (if you type your lettP.-). A letter which is not signed often is disregarded. Be sure your r=:turn address is on the letter as well as on the envelope. Envelopes often are lost so your represen- tative may not be able to give you a response. Your letter should be brief. It is best to limit it to _ - ----- one page. Identify the issue clearly. State your concern concisely. If the ssue affects your job or a service you depend on, state th.Lt clearly in the letter. State the Hous=: or Senate bill number, if possible, when you write regarding legislation. Be personal. :iake your feelings clear. Do not write in the third person. Avoid using_phr7ases or sentences which give the impression of a form letter. Do not berate, threaten or intimidate your representative. If you want to be c~7itical, treat the representative the way you would want to bz! criticized if someone were criticizing you. Ask for a resp~-inse. As a constituent, you are entitled --= --== _-_ to know how the representative feels or votes on an issue. THANK YOUR REPaESENTATIVE. This is most important. If he or she is suppor'.:ive of your views and if the vote pleases you, a thank-you is appreciated. If, however, a representa- tive votes in oppos~.tion to your views, don't hesitate to write and let him o~~ her know.
