PopVox Puts "Your Message In The Language Of Congress"

Ask your Representatives to support H.R. 668. Click here to go to EMPact America's page on the PopVox.com web site.  You can also take part in this public platform for activity on pending legislation and see your comments appear in the "widget" box below.

It is important to send messages to Congress using every tool we have.

While phone calls, letters and emails are still important, Congressional staffers are often too busy to tally the number of electronic correspondence they receive from citizens concerned about certain legislation. Many members of Congress use sources like govtrack.us to track the trending of constituent opinion on legislation, so online opinions on such sites can make a difference. Use this messaging tool to join other constituents in their support of the SHIELD Act (H.R. 668).

The "widget" on the right side of this page above (titled "Comments Sent to Congress") is a live-updated stream of comments posted by people who support H.R. 668 (the SHIELD Act) and have written to their Representatives to ask for support of this important bill.

To add your own comment to the stream and ask for your Representatives to support H.R. 668, click here to go to the PopVox.com web site. When sending a message to members of Congress, PopVox.com allows you to choose whether or not your comment will be posted online with your name or anonymously--the message to your Representative will have your name on it, but the comment on the web site would be anonymous. It's your choice, and your voice.

Help spread awareness of the need to support this bill.

Here are three simple ways you can help:

1. Email your contacts the link to this page on EMPact America's web site:

http://www.empactamerica.org/popvox.php

2. Email your contacts this link, which sends them directly to the page for H.R. 668 on the Pop Vox web site:

https://www.popvox.com/orgs/empactamerica/_action/2163

3. Add a badge like the one on the right to your web site, using this code:

Help us turn the map green.

Every time someone sends a message to their Representative and adds their comments to PopVox.com, a green dot appears on the map on PopVox.com (the map on the right is just our representation of what we'd like to see happen—it's not the actual map on PopVox.com).

Help us turn the whole map green—add your voice, and ask your friends and family to join us. To view the actual map on PopVox.com, click here.

Together, we can make a difference.
