Write a Letter

One of the most effective and underrated ways of making a difference is to write to your elected representatives to make your point and find out their views. Politicians judge the importance of an issue by how many letters they receive on the subject.

A word on Letter Writing
Letters, phonecalls and visits to politicians - particularly near an election - are one of the best ways to keep the issue alive. He or she knows that for every one who takes the time to visit or write, "there are hundreds or thousands of people who feel the same way but lacked the time, resources, skills or motivation to write a similar letter." (Sharon Beder).

Let your own State and Federal politician, the Prime Minister, Leader of the Opposition, and relevant Ministers know how you feel about uranium mining and Australia's disastrous involvement in the nuclear fuel cycle. Asking real questions and saying that you await their reply makes it more likely that you will get a response.
