IAA signifies with an ||||<strong>Action</strong> <strong>Alert</strong><br />
designation the hottest issues that need<br />
immediate action. The most effective way<br />
to get your voice heard on these issues is<br />
to send an e-mail, fax, or call your elected<br />
officials and urge their support for proimmigration<br />
reform.<br />
E-mail: You can send e-mails to your<br />
elected officials by simply clicking on the<br />
following link, choosing the pre-written letter<br />
you wish to send, or writing a letter of your<br />
own, and following the easy to understand<br />
instructions. http://capwiz.com/aila2/home/<br />
Fax: To fax or call in your views to<br />
your elected officials, find their contact<br />
information by clicking below:<br />
http://capwiz.com/aila2/dbq/officials/<br />
Phone: You can contact your member of<br />
Congress by phone through the Capitol Hill<br />
switchboard at 202-224-3121. Call this<br />
number and ask the operator to connect<br />
you to your Senators and Representatives.<br />
To contact the President, call 202-456-<br />
1111 and leave a message.<br />
If you don’t know who your Senators<br />
or Representatives are, call FirstGov at<br />
1-800-333-4636. You only have to give<br />
your zip code to receive this information.<br />
FirstGov is a U.S. government service<br />
designed to answer your questions about<br />
the government.<br />
For more information on the status of<br />
legislation in IAA, or to see which elected<br />
officials cosponsored these bills, you also<br />
can go to http://thomas.loc.gov/ and<br />
enter the bill number.
