Writing guidance
Tips on writing to your elected officials.
Adapted from the American Civil Liberties Union’s guidance for communicating effectively with elected representatives.
Keep it brief
Limit the letter to one issue and, whenever possible, one page. Make the main point easy to identify.
State who you are and what you want
Identify yourself as a constituent and ask clearly for denial of the Project Delta zoning change near the beginning.
Use your three strongest points
Select the most persuasive factual concerns and explain them rather than presenting a long, unfocused list.
Make it personal and local
Explain how the proposed rezoning could affect you, your family, your property, your work, or Walnut Cove.
Describe genuine connections
If you know an official or have supported that official, briefly and truthfully explain the relationship.
Be firm, courteous, and factual
Your commissioners represent you. Take a clear position, use your own words, and support it with reliable information when available.
Please do
Make the message effective.
- Be courteous to commissioners, staff members, applicants, property owners, and neighbors.
- Explain your reasons for opposing the rezoning in your own words.
- Use hard facts, official records, and specific local examples when you can.
- Ask for a specific action: deny the Project Delta conditional rezoning request.
Please avoid
Do not weaken the message.
- Personal attacks or expressions of dislike toward the developer, property owners, staff, or public officials.
- Emotional claims presented without factual support.
- General statements that the community simply does not want change.
- Arguments based on stereotypes, rumors, or unsupported assumptions.
Passionate advocacy never justifies harassment, hateful rhetoric, threats, or political violence. Focus on the zoning decision, the public record, and the protections you are asking the Board to provide.
