All 5 paragraphs present + counterclaim acknowledged + specific ask + caregiver co-signed
Hints
- Use MG-13 template sentence frames per paragraph.
- Specific ask = a concrete request (vote yes/no on bill, sponsor a bill, hold a hearing).
Misconceptions to watch
- Missing the counterclaim paragraph
- Generic ask without specific request
- Missing caregiver co-signature
