Take Action for UAFA Today!

The Senate hearing on the Uniting American Families Act is this Wednesday, and we need as many senators as possible to be there. We are e-mailing you because you are from a state that has a senator on the committee.

Please call your Senator who is a democratic Judiciary Committee Member (see below for list!) and tell him or her:

“I urge Senator ______________ to attend the June 3, 10 a.m. Senate Judiciary hearing on the Uniting American Families Act. The Uniting American Families Act, S 424, would allow gay and lesbian Americans to sponsor our foreign-born partners, so we would no longer have to make the terrible choice between being in the country we love or with the family we love. This is a critical issue for my family.”

What to Do: Call the Senate hotline at 202-224-3121 and ask for your Senator listed below; urge him or her to attend the June 3, 10 a.m. Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the Uniting American Families Act because it is important for your family.

Please don’t contact any other senators not on the committee!

DE: Senator Edward Kaufman

IL: Senator Dick Durbin

MD: Senator Benjamin Cardin

MN: Senator Amy Klobuchar

NY: Senator Chuck Schumer

OR: Senator Ron Wyden

PA: Senator Arlen Specter

RI: Senator Sheldon Whitehouse

WI: Senator Russ Feingold and Senator Herb Kohl

We need your help to make sure that the historic Senate Judiciary hearing on the Uniting American Families Act (UAFA) has the absolute best outcome possible. It is a very busy day in the Senate on Wednesday, June 3, and many Senators have scheduling conflicts.

We need to make sure that as many Democratic Senate Judiciary Committee members as possible show up to the hearing!

Thank you very much!
