Targeting:  Senator Dianne Feinsteing (D-CA); Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN); Sen. Ted Kaufman (D-DE): Sen. Herb Kohl (D-WI)

Out4Immigration is an all grassroots organization.  Currently, Americans in same-gender relationships with foreign partners have no right to sponsor those partners for legal residency in the US.  Each week we write to a list of representatives in Congress or the Senate to ask them to support equal immigration rights for Same-Sex Binational couples and to become a cosponsor of the Uniting American Families Act(UAFA) and to support an inclusive Comprehensive Immigration Reform that includes LGBT Families

This is week 77 of Out4Immigration’s weekly letter writing campaign.  Last week, we wrote to Senator Robert Menendez upon news of his plans to introduce a Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill by year’s end.  This week, we are targeting the four Democratic Senators who are members of the Judiciary, and who have not yet signed on to the Uniting America Families Act as co-sponsors.

While we have written to all of these Senators before, it is now especially important to remind them not only of the need to keep the UAFA in any CIR legislation, but of the fact that we’ve seen a combined 11 new co-sponsors from the House and Senate, just in the past couple of weeks.  At present, the UAFA has more cosponsors than ever.  We are not only requesting their co-sponsorship:  as members of the Judiciary Committee we are appealing to them to show leadership in doing the right thing by their LGBT constituents and their families, as these recent co-sponsors have done.

We encourage you to take part in this campaign by using one of four options:

(1) The easiest one.   By clicking through and adding your name to this page, you will send ALL FOUR of the letters AT ONCE.  You can also provide the link to your friends and family to take action too!;

(2) Contact the 4 senators here with your own letter, your own story; or

(3) Creating a booklet telling your story. See http://tinyurl.com/o4i-toolkit1 for more info on this option.

(4) Check out other actions on our action page and sign the other week's action too to urge the other members of congress to sponsor and support the passage of Uniting American Families Act.

Additionally, don’t hesitate to call our recent cosponsors and thank them for their support.  Let’s hit our target of 500 signers this week.  Please share this widely, and thank you for taking action!!!
