It depends what type of law you're talking about.
If it is a local law (i.e. one specific to your city or town) you should contact representatvies on your city/town council. If it is a state or federal law, you should lobby members of your state assembly or the United States Congress. This could include writing letters, making phone calls, circulating a petition, etc.
Of course, you could also run for public office yourself.

State or federal? Or local?
Generally, the process is that you elect the people who are going to make the laws that you want them to make. That's the point of living in a representative republic.
But, in many states, there is also the option of a voter initiative, which could make its way onto the ballot and potentially be enacted as law. The procedures vary by state, and not all states have this option. For more information, contact your local Secretary of State.

Collect signatures and pass them on to your representative or senator. Of course..it helps to have money and a good lobbyist or two.
