Rep. Jerrold Nadler plans to reintroduce the 'Uniting American
Families Act' on Feb. 13.

You can make the bill a success by convincing your
Representative to support the bill from Day One.
 

Reintroducing the bill with as many cosponsors as possible will show powerful momentum for the rights of gay and lesbian bi-national couples!

Please call your Representatives and ask them to be an original cosponsor of the "Uniting American Families Act of 2009"



    1. Find out who your U.S. House Representative is.  Go to:
http://www.congressmerge.com/onlinedb/index.htm
enter your address, and you will be provided the name of your U.S. Representative.
    2. Call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202)224-3121 and ask to be connected to your U.S. Representative.
    3. Tell your representative's staff:
"I am calling to ask Representative__________ to be an original cosponsor of the 'Uniting American Families Act of 2009'.  To cosponsor, he/she must contact Rep. Jerrold Nadler, who is the lead sponsor, at (202)225-5635."

The U.S. government discriminates against gay and lesbian bi-national couples by not allowing us to sponsor our foreign-born life partners for immigration.  Because of this, we face the terrible choice of separating from the person we love or leaving our country.  As Americans, we should not have to choose between family and country.  Please ask Rep.
