Please take a moment – really, that’s all it takes – to use UNA’s letter-writing tool to send a short letter to our Senators and your Representative. Compose the letter using their talking points, or adding what you want to say, and it does all the addresses.

Given tight budgets these days, you might also want to add that UN Peacekeeping operations are, according to the Office of Management and Budget, up to 8 times more cost effective than sending our own troops (and it means our men and women in the Colorado Guard can stay here to help us in emergencies!).

 

Pass this along to anyone you know who might be sympathetic.
