Mobilizing to reach out to Congress:
WAND and WiLL organize group letters in various communities

March 2006

WAND is known in DC and elsewhere as being reliable and relentless on the issues we care about. Our two lobbyists on Capitol Hill are constantly looking for new ways to rally the energies of the many organizations in the country.

One method is to organize letters to Congress that come with many well known and respected signers. Here are a few that we've pulled together in 2006 so far.

  • Letter from 155 women state legislators from 45 states about the misplaced priorities in the FY07 federal budget.
  • Letter from 70 human needs groups about the FY07 federal budget.
  • Letter from peace and security community on India-U.S. nuclear deal.
  • Letter from 23 Arms Control, Humanitarian, Human Rights, and Religious Organizations in Support of Lugar-Obama Legislation (the Conventional Arms Disarmament Act of 2005)
