Call Capitol Switchboard toll-free at 1-800-828-0498 to ask for your Senator by name. Ask to speak to a Legislative or Veteran Affairs Aide when you reach their office.

Use the Sample Message as a guide for what to say.

If your Senator tells you that they will consider it when it comes to a vote, it means they are telling you NO! You need to press them to become a Cosponsor.  If there are insufficient Cosponsors it will never come to a Vote!

Email, call or fax your Senator as found in the List below. Or visit their local office as found in Blue Pages of your phone book under U.S. Government Information.

Sample message to Senator:
Dear (address them by first name)

Please cosponsor S.961, Belated Thank You to the Merchant Mariners of World War II Act of 2007, introduced by Ben Nelson of Nebraska. This Bill affects WWII mariners whose average age is 83.

During World War II, mariners suffered the highest rate of casualties of any armed service. After the war, they did not receive promised benefits

S.961 would help make up for that in a small way, by providing $1000 per month to them and their widows.

Please see a mini-history of the Merchant Marine during World War II: http://www.usmm.org/cd.html for reasons to cosponsor.

Please let me know that you have become a cosponsor or if you have any questions.
