Advocacy Tools: Family and Individual Advocacy
UCP is pleased to offer a new service online to facilitate contacting your Members of Congress and local news media, and to quickly check Congressional votes and retrieve legislation.
The Contact Congress section of the UCP Web site will allow you to send a personalized or pre-written message to your Members of Congress, thus increasing the volume of messages supporting various positions on an issue. You also can send an online press release, letter to the editor or similar message to any or all of your local media, including newspapers, television and radio stations, local magazines, and locally-focused Internet sites. These services are free to UCP Web site visitors.
