[Robert A. Zeichner]

I just received this sample letter with instructions for proper modification in preparation to send to congressmen and representatives. I would encourage all to take a look and act now.

This has been discussed extensively in several other recent threads. ASMP
have a
page
with periodic updates.

One thing to note: ASMP now are are asking people to hold off on faxes:

“At this time, we ask that you refrain from sending additional faxes
or e-mails. We will call for more later, but right now we need to give
Congressional staff a break.”

The Wall Street Journal had an interesting article on the subject this past week.
