2. A call is best, but you can also send a FAX or email easily w/this site:

This site will do almost all the work for you! All you have to do is enter your zip and click "GO" and you'll be given all your reps, and can write just ONE letter to all of them!

http://capwiz.com/thedeanpeople/home/

Just enter your zip code, click go, and you'll be taken to a page with all your reps on it. Click the link toward the top that says "Write to ALL of your representatives with one click..." Then you can use the radio buttons to select an email (default), letter (don't use this, not enough time) or FAX message (probably the BEST to use NOW). The one message you write will be sent to everyone on the list, unless you deselect them, with the checkbox by their name. So select just your Congresspeople, and deselect Bush. It's really easy! DU it!

You can use this message, if you wish, to save time. It's short, but to the point. Here it is:


The budget cuts that are soon to be voted upon impose further suffering on those least able to withstand it. Poor families will need to spend more for medical treatments and medicine, and students will find it harder to complete their studies if these cuts are allowed to be implemented. Poor children will be especially impacted by the proposed cuts.

To ask the least fortunate among us to bear a disproportionate burden as the result of wrong-headed tax breaks that benefit the wealthy and large corporations, while deepening the deficit and doing little to expand the economy, is just plain wrong.

Please do all you can to prevent these cuts from being enacted. Thank you.




Just copy the text above into the message box, fill out the rest of the info (they don't ask for a lot), and click to send! Easy! Fast!

3. This website is the greatest tool I have seen
to contact by email or fax on the issues. Really great one click and enter your message. What could be easier.

I have a son in U of A using that loan now and my 2 girls in high school will need student loans soon. My repuke congressman probably told his telephone girl I spoke with to email me and say, "tough luck buddy all my kids are out of college."
