At the close of my previous post I encouraged all who wished to do so to write their senators and representatives to urge them to reign in U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Chertoff in his circumventing of the environmental laws that will be violated in the process of completing the construction of the Great Wall of Bush along the border between the United States and Mexico. As writing one’s elected officials is not something (sadly) as commonly done today as it once was, some people might be hesitant to do so either for the reason that they don’t know just what to write or how to contact the person to whom they should be writing.
I did a bit of scouting around and have found a solution to both problems conveniently locatd in one place. The good people at NO BORDER WALL have posted helpful links to both the directories for the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives. They have also posted the text of a letter they offer for use, either in part or as a whole, to bring this matter to the attention of the appropriate elected officials. The letter itself is well worth reading even if you don’t intend to use it as it outlines the manner by which Secretary Chertoff, not an elected offical by any means, acquired the power to circumvent U.S. laws in the first place.
Peace and good bird watching.
