Sample Letter
Senator [fill in your legislator's name here]:
I am writing to you today about Wisconsin Act 405. I strongly oppose any law that limits my choices as a consumer. The government does not have a right to interfere in my personal, private financial transactions. Further, I am opposed to any state-sponsored database as they pose a threat to my personal privacy.
As a resident of Wisconsin and one of your constituents, I urge you to work to repeal Wisconsin Act 405 and restore consumer access to short term lending options.
Sincerely,
[Your Name and Address Here]
