How to Contact Your Representative

The Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA) is state-level legislation. Here's how to advocate for it effectively—whether you have 2 minutes or 2 hours.

The 2-Minute Phone Call

"Hi, I'm [Name] from [City]. I'm calling to ask [Representative] to support the Kratom Consumer Protection Act, bill number [##]. This bill ensures kratom products are tested for safety and keeps them away from minors. It's worked in 7 other states. Can I count on [Rep]'s support?"

Staffers tally calls—personal stories matter most. Mention if you're a veteran, chronic pain patient, or former opioid user.

Subject: Support KCPA [Bill #] - Consumer Safety

Dear [Representative],

I am writing as a constituent and kratom consumer to urge your support for the Kratom Consumer Protection Act.

[Personal story: 2-3 sentences about why you use kratom—pain management, opioid alternative, etc.]

The KCPA has been enacted in 7 states (UT, GA, AZ, NV, OR, CO, OK) with bipartisan support. It requires:
• GMP manufacturing standards
• Heavy metals and adulterant testing
• Age restrictions (18+)
• Product registration for accountability

Without regulation, consumers face contaminated products. With the KCPA, we have safe access.

Please support [Bill #].

Sincerely,
[Name]
[Address]
[Phone]
