4/27/2005 - AHF ACTION ALERT UPDATE on Our grassroots action on House Resolution 191 urging the "prompt and fair restitution of church properties by Rumania."

Please keep in mind that such measures generally require 25 Co-Sponsors to get a resolution adopted! Here's how to help...

Contact the Representatives who cosponsored H. Res. 632 last year and urge them to support and cosponsor H. Res. 191. Please keep in mind that generally such measures will require 25 sponsors, 10 of whom need to be from the House International Relations Committee (“IRC”). With Congressman Tom Lantos (D-CA) and Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO) being the original sponsors and members of the IRC, it will be important to secure 22 more Representatives, 8 of whom need to be members of the IRC. AHF received word from Congressman Frank Wolf’s (R-VA) office that he will cosponsor the measure!

The Honorable (full name)
House of Representatives
Washington, D.C. 20515

Dear Mr./Mrs./Ms. (Last name).

I am writing to express my appreciation for your cosponsoring H. R. 632 last year. As you will recall, that Resolution would have called on the Government of Romania to provide prompt and fair restitution to the various religious communities of properties that were confiscated by the former Communist regime. Although H. R. 632 did not receive consideration in the 108th Congress, a similar resolution, H. Res. 191, has been introduced this year by Congressman Tom Lantos and cosponsored by Congressman Tom Tancredo. I would appreciate it if you would also cosponsor this important measure.

Sincerely,

Your name and address
