… well, maybe not the world, but I did speak up to my legislators to request support of The Family Act of 2011 (S 965/HR 3522).  Keiko, at the Infertility Voice, asked her readers to reach out to their legislators to request support of The Family Act of 2011, so I did.  I wrote to all of Iowa’s senators and representatives whether or not they represented me, because I don’t like seeing that only 4% of the House of Representatives and 6% of the Senate support this bill.  I almost didn’t believe those numbers because they seem too low.

I got lots of email responses, but today, I got a letter.  A REAL letter!  This letter came from Congressman Tom Latham and I think it’s neat.  The reason I think it’s neat is that I believe we do too  much electronically and I appreciate someone (or “his people”) taking the time to send a real letter (even if it is a canned response) saying they got my note and support the bill.  Heck, I didn’t even send him a real letter – I sent an email.

Maybe I’ll get more letters from the other legislators I contacted, and maybe I won’t.  But I am glad to see that at least one person in Iowa supports this bill.

Have you written to your legislators yet?
