How to Write Your Legislators

Use Talking Points to Craft the Right Message

Tell your personal story - be sure to include where you live, where you operate your small business (if different than your home), what you sell, any employees you have, and how your business has grown.

• Research your issue and eBay's stance on it by looking at eBay's Policy Papers. If possible, reference bill numbers.
• Be concise and convey the purpose of your letter in the first paragraph.
• Ask your elected official to oppose any new legislation that would threaten your small business success.
