Which country set the record for the most people kissing in one place at one time? Mexico! Mexicans broke the record when 40,000 couples kissed in Mexico City on Valentine’s Day this year.
In addition to the kissing record, this year Mexicans also set a record for the world’s largest cheesecake (55 cooks baked a 2-ton cake!) and for the world’s largest mariachi band (549 musicians). Mexico sure is setting the bar high!
Tips on Writing Letters to Legislators

- Keep your letter short
- Tell the legislator who you are and make sure they know you are a constituent who lives in their district
- Include rational for your point of view (including facts and statistics if you have them)
- Personal anecdotes and concrete example are powerful
- Always include your name and address in the letter
- Do not send a form letter; handwritten letter are nice if they are legible
- Direct letter to legislators in key decision-making positions
- Time your letter to coincide with key events in the legislative process (such as the legislative session coming up this January)
- Avoid emotionalism or righteous clichés (i.e. “as a citizen and a taxpayer”)
- Be courteous and positively recognize legislators’ past efforts
