Victim's Rights Amendment, SJ Res 1
by Steve Twist and Bob La Vine

Urgent!

We are writing to ask that you send an e-mail, write a post card, or make a phone call, now, to each of the senators listed below. Ask them to not just support, but also to co-sponsor, SJ Res1. To make it easy, we have attached a list of all senators, both Democrats and Republicans. Your message can be simple, but please be direct.


Sample email or letter:

I am contacting you to respectfully urge your support and co-sponsorship of SJ Res1, the Crime Victim Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

This critically important and long over-due reform to our justice system will begin to restore some balance to a system that for years has focused exclusively on the rights of the defendant or the power of the state---but has ignored the victim.

The rights established in the crime Victims Rights Amendment should be the birthright of every American.

Please stand with your colleagues, Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona and Senator Diane Feinstein of California who, in a truly bi-partisan spirit, introduced the amendment.

And please, sign on as a co-sponsor of SJ Res 1.

Thank you.
.

Please Do This Right Away - There Is No Time To Lose!

Let your voice be heard at this crucial point in the campaign for victims' rights. We need as many folks as possible to send this message to those senators listed below (even if not in your state) who have not yet to agree to co-sponsor SJ Res 1. Also, please let us know when you have made your contacts and, perhaps, share the responses you receive.

You might ask the senators, "Do you support SJ Res1? If not, why not?"

Thank you so very much. Together, we can make history!

Thanks,

Steve Twist
Bob La Vine (nvcan/pomc liaison)

PS: Please forward this message or otherwise share this message with your membership and any other contacts you might have.
