message to Senator:
Dear (address them by first name) Please cosponsor S.961, Belated Thank You to the Merchant Mariners of World War II Act of 2007, introduced by Ben Nelson of Nebraska. This Bill affects WWII mariners whose average age is 83. During World War II, mariners suffered the highest rate of casualties of any armed service. After the war, they did not receive promised benefits S.961 would help make up for that in a small way, by providing $1000 per month to them and their widows. Please see a mini-history of the Merchant Marine during World War II: http://www.usmm.org/cd.html for reasons to cosponsor. Please let me know that you have become a cosponsor or if you have any questions. [Name] [home address] [phone] |
