The mailings provide a suggested letter, personalized with the TROA member s and legislator s names and addresses, plus a stamped envelope pre-addressed to the legislator. The letters urge legislators to support funding for TFL and concurrent receipt in the FY 2002 Budget Resolution. Without Budget Resolution headroom, the Armed Services committees are limited in their ability to propose improvements to so-called entitlements programs. Please urge those receiving these packages to sign and mail the suggested letter right away, as work on the FY 2002 Budget Resolution is already starting. Just enter your ZIP code in the Elected Officials box, then click on the message above your legislators pictures.
Users have the option of sending e-mail messages or printing letters.
For the price of a stamp, you can multiply the impact of your communication to Congress. Late last summer, some TROA staff members played in a local golf tournament sponsored by a member of The Military Coalition. We anticipated a quiet affair with 80 or so golfers. The tournament turned out to be the organization s only annual scholarship fund-raising activity. Last year, TROA sponsored a series of golf tournaments across the country as a chapter recruiting tool.
