Write to Congress, email your senators, or call your House member — reach the people who represent you. Find your U.S. House member and your two Senators, then generate a constituent message in your own words. We build the template — you send it through their official channels. We never transmit anything on your behalf.
Your letter goes out in your name, from your email, through your rep's own contact form — not through an aggregator that sends on your behalf. Offices know the difference, and many now deprioritize aggregator-sourced mail. RTR builds the letter; you send it. That's what makes it land as real constituent mail.
Everything happens on this page and on your representatives' own websites. RTR writes your letter; you send it.
You'll be contacting three offices — your two U.S. Senators and the House Representative from your district. RTR takes you through all three in sequence, with your letter copied and ready to paste at each one.
You will be pasting and typing. There's no way around that, and we won't pretend otherwise. Each office runs its own contact form on its own website. No website — including this one — is permitted to type into another website's page. So RTR writes the letter, copies it to your clipboard, and opens their form; from there, you paste it in and fill out whatever fields that particular office asks for.
Your name and address are already written into the letter itself, so the office has them either way. If their form also asks for those in separate boxes, you'll type them in — the same as on any other website.
Expect 10–15 minutes for all three. Some forms require ZIP+4; some have a CAPTCHA. It is a genuinely cumbersome process. That's the system as it exists today — not a bug on our end.
That's why every letter you send from RTR ends with a short paragraph asking your representative to try their own contact process and simplify it. You can toggle it off in the composer below, but leaving it on turns citizen frustration into direct pressure on Congress.

You haven't marked any positions yet. Browse the Issues and choose "which reflects your view" on the points you care about — they'll appear here and shape your draft, one issue at a time.
Congressional offices only accept mail from their own constituents, so your letter has to carry your name and address. Type them once — they'll be written into the letter below, and saved on this device so you don't retype them next time.

Adds one paragraph asking your rep to experience their own contact form and simplify it. Every citizen who includes it puts direct, measurable pressure on Congress to make itself easier to reach. Recommended.
Copies the whole message. Your draft stays on this page — each rep's form opens in a new tab, so you can come back and copy again if you need to. Email a copy to yourself if you'd rather paste it from your own inbox later (this opens your mail app — it does not send to your representative).
[your name] or [your address] still in brackets, fill in the details block. Then read the rest — add anything personal, cut anything that doesn't sound like you, or send it exactly as drafted.Tip: keep this tab open the whole time. Right to Redress never transmits anything for you — you stay in control of every message, and offices receive it as real constituent mail from you.
Yes — though not the way most people imagine. Congressional offices use Correspondence Management Systems that log, tag, and tally every message they receive by issue and position. Staff report those tallies to the member. A single message rarely changes a vote on its own; a measurable shift in constituent volume on an issue does get noticed. Your message is counted whether or not you get a reply.
Calls are typically logged faster and are harder to ignore during a fast-moving vote, because a staffer has to handle each one in real time. Written messages carry more detail and leave a durable record in the office's system. If an issue is urgent, call. If you want your reasoning on the record, write. Right to Redress prepares both — you can switch between a letter and a call script above.
Every American is represented by one U.S. House member (determined by your congressional district) and two U.S. Senators (determined by your state). Enter your address above and Right to Redress will identify all three. You can also select your state and district manually if you'd rather not enter an address.
Keep it to one page and one issue. Say you're a constituent, name the issue or bill up front, state your position, and ask for a specific action — a vote, a co-sponsorship, a public statement. Include your name and address so the office can verify you live in the district. Personal reasoning in your own words carries far more weight than a form letter.
No. We never transmit, file, or submit anything on your behalf. Right to Redress prepares your message and opens each representative's official contact form in a new tab — you paste it in and submit it yourself. Offices receive it as genuine constituent mail directly from you, which is exactly what gives it weight.
It's free, and there's no account. Nothing you enter is stored on a server — your name, address, and positions stay in your own browser on your own device, and you can clear them at any time.
