Subject: "Budget Crisis"
Dear Mrs. Adams,
I know that this may fall on deaf ears but in all my political ignorance I've only recently come to understand the breadth of the budget crisis through educated conversations with my spouse. I'm not sure what is being done, but I wanted to express my fear to someone with the power to change.

But you can – in spades.
