WHAT ARE
E-Z TOOLS? In simple terms: We do the hard part for you! Most folks are too busy, hesitant, perhaps even embarrassed to write a letter to their Senator or Congressman. We do the hard part, you make it your own and send it. But, that's only letters. We'll keep you informed, with "Monday Morning Newswire", too. Any Patriot or Patriot organization can sign up and use our E-Z Tools, too.
Hoosier Patriots' E-Z Tools are designed to make it much easier and less time consuming for you to communicate well with your Senator or Congressman. Additionally, you'll see links that will provide you with information you need to know. We've learned that a hard letter delivered to an office in a hand addressed envelope is the best way to get attention, short of showing up at the office door step.
But, that's not all we're doing. We want to provide you with the leadership and tools you need to become a part of a knowledgeable constituency, and to save the Constitution. Lack of communication is, in our view, why our Congress has lost touch with the people. While this site was originally intended for Indiana Hoosiers, EVERYONE is welcome to participate and use our E-Z Tools. And from California to New York, Minnesota to Florida, they do!
Our Constitution set the rules for an active Republic dependent upon the citizenry participating and knowing what's going on in Washington. We've shirked that responsibility, so the bureaucratic offices have now made it so complicated, few of us know what is happening. That has to stop. We believe in smaller government, smaller taxes, smaller government spending budgets, and a real representative government.

E-Z Letters Instructions
Written letters get noticed and have the greatest impact with our elected officials. Please help Hoosier Patriots and your country by participating. These instructions apply to our E-Z Letters sent to participants on our e-mail list. If you have not signed up to received them, do so right now. They are E-Z and effective. This activity is our "meat and potato" program.
E-Z Letters are intended to be downloaded and printed out by you, with your name and address on an attractive letterhead. You enter your name and address at the top and address the letter to the official. E-Z Letters take only about five minutes to address, print and mail in a hand-addressed envelope.
- First, you will receive an e-mail notifying you a letter is coming. (If you have not previously downloaded the addresses for Senators and Congressional Representatives, do it now.)
- Next, you will receive the letter(s) each attached to an e-mail clearly identified as such. Download the letter(s) and save to a special folder you should have set-up for them.
- Open each letter, one at a time, and enter your name and address in the boxes shown at the top of the letterhead. This makes the letter on your own personalized letterhead.
- Enter the inside address of the intended official just under the date for the letter. (Indiana's senators are pre-addressed.)
- As you address each letter, print it out. You may also want to save each letter in a special folder for future reference.
- Address a #10 business envelope for each letter, enter your return address in the upper left, and place a stamp for mailing. YOU MAY ALSO FAX THE LETTER!
That's it! E-Z as pie. E-Z Letters are developed and sent as often as deemed necessary.

E-Z DC VISITS!
Periodically, we assemble a team of six to eight Patriot volunteers to visit our senators and members of congress. Eyeball-to-eyeball, in person, has always been the best way to get the attention of a legislator. (A hard letter or FAX is second...e-mails by the thousands are seldom read.) So, our Patriot Team makes a fast trip to Washington, DC, for one overnight, just enough time to walk into the offices and make an impression, courteously and peacefully stating our positions. More often than not, we're not expected. You will absolutely learn about your government. These offices and buildings belong to US! Are you able to get away for a couple of days, or drive a vehicle? Our goal is one trip per month. Click here to volunteer!
We want our congressional office-holders to know we're out here; they work for us. It's amazing how surprised they are when constituents actually appear to check up on them. This absolutely gets attention! Are YOU able to volunteer for an E-Z DC Visit? Let us know, we'll get you in a schedule as soon as possible. Click here to volunteer.
