You will probably get a "form" letter back thanking you for writing. Thats about it.

Let me suggest that you start with your local state representative...you know the one that has jurisdiction over state matters that actually lives in your town or close by.
This person considers you one of his constituents and knows that you can cause him more difficulty that anyone else in state politics.
The governor represents the entire state and while they may be sympathetic to your issues I doubt that anything other than a filing of your letter along with a form letter response will be forthcoming.
When you write your state representative keep your letter short and directly to the point. It would be nice if you were to offer some suggestions as to a fix of the problem that you want to address along with your offer to assist in any manner.
Obviously make sure that you sign and give your contact information.
Hope this helps.

Dont expect any kind of personal letter back, but yes feel free to write your governor. It is not required that you be intemately familiar with the law in order to write letters. As a matter of fact you technically dont have to be amiliar with the laws in order to be the governor either (though it helps)

You can write the President if you want but no matter who you write to, you'll get a form letter in return with nothing but B/S in it !!
