Information on contacting Florida legislators not listed here may be found on the Florida State Legislature home page.

One important legislator to write in Florida is Sen. Victor Crist, author of the statute that requires all juveniles charged with 1st degree murder be tried as adults, regardless of age. Sen. Crist is adamant that this law not be changed regardless of the number of children Florida sends away forever, and as the chair of the Criminal Justice committee, he has the "clout" to see that it isn't changed.
