With Mod permission: I wrote to my congressional representatives and put together a guide on supporting this bill. If you have decided that you want to support this bill these are some steps you can take. Whole project shouldnt be over 10 minutes.
Step 1: Write a letter describing in your own word's why you support this bill. In a polite way. Remember chances are only an aide will read it. Be polite. You will use a variation on this letter for the next few steps.
Step 2: The bill is with the following committees in the house, contact all of them:
- Fax: 202-225-9077 //Armed Services
- http://ift.tt/1TBcl96 //House Committees on Science Space and Technology
- http://ift.tt/1UmMIuU //permanent select committee on intelligence
- Rules.RS@mail.house.gov //house committee on rules
- http://ift.tt/1TBcn0y //House Ways and Mean
- http://ift.tt/1UmMIuV //Transportation and Infrastructure
- phone: 202-225-2927 //House Energy and Commerce
- fax: 202-225-5394 // Foreign Affairs
If you lack a fax machine you can use a site like this
Step 3: Write to your house congressional official. This site is good for it
Step 4: Write to your senators and mention that if it leaves the house you would like their support.
Step 5: write to the other powers that will be needed to secure this bill: Congressman Kevin McCarthy, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, and the President
For bonus points:
Step 6: contact people running in your district and running for president asking them to support the bill if elected.
Step 7: start online petitions and get everyone you know to write in. Also, someone start a change.org one.
