ACTION ALERT! Contact Congress

Visit our News page LEGISLATIVE ALERT! CONTACT YOUR MEMBER OF CONGRESS THIS WEEK ABOUT OUR HIGH PRIORITY LEGISLATION! This entire week the U.S. Congress is back home in their states/districts to spend some time listening to constituents. This is a great time to meet with your members of Congress to talk about ACT! for America and to ask for their support on four pieces of legislation that are already on our “High Priority List.” Check to find out if your Senator or Representative will be holding a “Town Hall” meeting or appearing at any other community event this week and, if possible, attend! Take a look at the first legislative proposals to make our “High Priority” list, below, to become familiar with the legislation. Then, be sure to go to the Contact Congress link on our website (Contact Congress). There, click on the name of each piece of legislation to learn more about it. If you are not able to meet with your elected official this week, you can follow the instructions on our website to send a letter to your Member of Congress, asking for support of the legislation. It’s quick. It’s easy. And it’s critical that your congressional elected officials hear from you. Remember, they represent YOU in the U.S. Congress.
