Looking for more ways to make a difference? Let your voice be heard and act now.

Contact The Government Officials Listed Below:

  • Call their offices

  • Send them emails

  • Write letters

  • Post on their Facebook/Twitter/Instagram sites

Some Ideas For Communication:

Telephone calls are thought to be the most persuasive because politicians keep tally. Emails are good as long as it is not a form letter. Social media is powerful. Tell them that IJC Policy must change to prevent flooding. Tell them to remove the lawsuit immunity from the IJC. Tell them how the flooding has affected you and your property personally. Tell them that you want the IJC 2014 Plan repealed. Ask them what real action they will take to help. Request a personal response.

Repeat! Keep at it! The squeaky wheel gets the grease! (How about one contact per day until the lake is below 243 feet?)
