✔ Keep it under 150 words

✔ Add at least one personal sentence

✔ Look up representatives for your district (below)

✔ Send it today

Subject: Please pause funding for the Roseau Lake and River projects

Dear [Senator/Representative Last Name],

My name is [Your Name], and I live in [City/Town]. I’m a constituent in your district.

I’m writing to ask you to pause all funding and support a review of the Roseau Lake “Rehabilitation” and Roseau River “Restoration” projects.
This matters because productive private farmland, homes, and outbuildings are at risk, and decisions are moving forward without transparency or a fair process.

[ADD 1–2 PERSONAL LINES — examples below]

Please pause all funding related to the Roseau Lake “Rehabilitation” and Roseau River “Restoration” projects until there is full transparency, a fair process for landowners, and the impact on productive private farmland is fully addressed.

Thank you for your time and your leadership.

Sincerely [Your Name] [Full Address]

• My family is among the landowners who will be impacted by these projects. 
• Our family has been farming this land for [X years/generations]. The impacts of these projects could render our land unfarmable. 
• My home is in the project area and the projected flooding from these projects would be devastating.  
• Agriculture is a major part of our local economy, and I’m concerned about the broader impact on our community.
• I’m concerned that landowners are not being given a fair process or full transparency in how these decisions are being made.
• This directly affects families, farms, and livelihoods in our area.
• [Or write your own]

• I’m reaching out because of your role in the Legacy Finance Committee, and the broader implications for agriculture and productive private farmland.
• As someone connected to agriculture, I’m concerned about the precedent this sets.
