Tips for a local plan:
- Organize a conference call about this bill, and get a few masjids of your area together on the call.
- Get your community to make calls to your senators. It is important to generate a good number of calls to the Senators’ offices.
- Please see below for a sample whatsApp/email message.
- Write to your Senator’s offices on an organizational letterhead. Ask for a meeting.
- A sample letter is available HERE. It is preferred to modify. You can use this free AI tool to modify it.
You can find your local Senators’ offices by doing an internet search. Or search here.
Send your modified letter by email/US mail to the offices listed. Call the office also to request a meeting.
NOTE: The meeting will probably be with a staffer. Do not insist on meeting with the Senator since they are often not in the home state, or are simply not available.
4) At the meeting, take a printed copy of the leave-behind letter as well as the analysis. Modify the sample leave-behind letter and print it. Also print the analysis and put them both in a folder/envelope. Please DO NOT modify the analysis document. If you do not agree with our analysis, leave it out of your package, or create your own.
