Let your voice be heard in Washington, D.C.

The decision to breach - or not to breach - the Snake River dams is to come from Congress. The Tri-City Herald has sent a copy of this special section to each U.S. senator and representative.

Tips for contacting a member of Congress:

  • Address letters and e-mail messages to "The Honorable _____."
  • Be concise. Plan to keep your typewritten letter to one page.
  • Be factual in your opposition to - or support of - an issue.
  • If you're voicing opposition, outline the likely adverse effects and suggest alternative solutions.
  • Be polite. Avoid emotional arguments or unreasonable demands.
  • Include your name and return address.
