What if your Member of Congress has already signed?
Many Senators and Representatives have already signed the letter asking Obama for a robust FY10 International Affairs Budget, which of course is the subject of this week’s challenge. Below is the list of signers. If your Member of Congress has already signed, you can still make the call – only instead of trying to persuade him or her to sign on, you’ll be thanking her or him for already signing. These calls are important, too. Members need to know their constituents support things like this, because that effects the level of support the Senator or Representative gives.
