Call-In for Wyden-McGovern Letter Opposing New Bahrain Arms Sales–Report Back Here!

January 31, 2012Commentary

Since there is not much time before the letter closes for signatures, calling your representatives would help. Just follow these simple instructions:

Call the Congressional Switchboard at (202) 224-3121.
Ask for your representative’s office.
When your representative’s office picks up, tell them that you urge your representative to sign the Wyden-McGovern letter to oppose any new arms sales to Bahrain. The deadline for signatures is Wednesday close of business.
If you are speaking to your Representative in the House, tell them to contact Mike McVicker in Rep. McGovern’s office to sign.
If you are speaking to one of your Senator’s offices, tell them to contact Isaiah Akin in Sen. Wyden’s office to sign.
When you’re done, make sure you report your call below!
