Dear NJ AI Activists,
As you know, people around the country are about to meet with the offices of their Senators and Representatives to urge them to end “extraordinary renditions,” the outsourcing of torture by our government. New Jersey Amnesty activists have planned meetings with Senator Menendez, Congressman LoBiondo, Congressman Saxton, Congressman Smith, and Congressman Garrett.
These offices will be more receptive to Amnesty’s position if they hear from other constituents. You can help these meetings succeed by taking part in the national call-in day on Friday, June 23rd! Everyone in the state can call Senator Menendez’s office at (202) 224-4744 and urge him to cosponsor S 654.
You can find out who your Congressman is by entering your zip code at the House of Representatives Website or looking at the NJ Congressional District Map.
We especially need calls to urge Representatives LoBiondo (2nd District, 202-225-6572), Saxton (3rd District 202-225-4765), Smith (4th District, 202-225-3765) and Garrett (202-225-4465) to cosponsor HR 952.
It would also be helpful to get calls asking Congressmen Andrews (1st District, 202-225-6501), Ferguson (7th District, 202-225-5361), Pascrell (8th District, 202-225-5751), and Frelinghuysen (11th District, 202-225-5034) to cosponsor HR 952.
Our state’s remaining Members of Congress have already cosponsored these bills. Please feel free to call and thank them for doing so!
By the way, I will be joining one of Chris Smith’s constituents from Brick to meet with his office in Whiting tomorrow (Friday) afternoon. I will be in Washington on Monday. So far, I have scheduled visits with Andrews’s and Pascrell’s DC Offices. I hope to add several more.
Thanks,
Larry Ladutke
