In-district congressional meetings - To capture the attention and support of lawmakers, NFRN operatives mobilize local coalition members to meet with lawmakers at their district offices, town hall meetings and local events. When constituents take time out of their day to visit a lawmaker in his or her district, elected officials take notice.

Personalized contacts- To complement face-to-face meetings, NFRN operatives will secure from coalitions they build, personalized letters, phone calls, faxes and emails that provide tangible proof of grassroots support. The days of generic postcard campaigns are over. These letters are unique correspondence, typically on personal letterhead, sent by individuals that have a personal relationship with, or who are directly responsible for, an official's ascent up the political ladder. Think genuine quality, not generic quantity.

Furthermore, our contacts in the local community provide the client with vital information on how the local political environment affects the lawmaker's position.

News Coverage - NFRN operatives can mobilize grassroots allies to promote the client's message through media outlets. As experienced and professional issue managers, the NFRN field team can train local spokespersons, organize news conferences, arrange media tours and contact local reporters.

Opinion Page Coverage - NFRN operatives train coalition members to participate in editorial board meetings, write opinion-editorials and craft letters-to-the editor. Among the closest observers of newspaper opinion pages are elected officials seeking to gauge the mood and thoughts of their constituents. Our campaign managers monitor these pages as well on a daily basis, looking to identify supporters and opponents of key issues and ensuring that an attack on our client's position is answered immediately.
