  • Call Now

    Well, I called Ike Skelton, the Committee Chairman, from Missouri, at 202-225-2876. He is a freshman and like the other newly elected members should be reminded that they were put into office to address these very issues. I also called another congressman from my state on the committee with the same message. It took two minutes and the people I spoke with at each office were receptive and polite.

    Call two members now. If you don't find the experience too painful, call a few more.
