SAMPLE LETTER REQUESTING SUPPORT FOR H.R. 551
I am (a veteran) (the wife of a veteran) and a member of (state post, auxiliary, or unit and include city).
I am writing to request your support for legislation which is intended to correct a serious inequity for veterans in the State of California. Congresswoman Susan Davis and Congressman Wally Herger have introduced H.R. 551, the Home Ownership for American Veterans Act of 2007. This bill, if passed, will enable the veterans who have served in such conflicts as Iraq and Afghanistan to have the same opportunity to participate in the California’s home loan program, just as the veterans of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam did in past years.
We need your support of this effort and specifically request that you sign on as a co-sponsor of the bill.
Sincerely,
(Include name and address)
