Write to Congress

Capitol WideHere are two easy ways to send a written message to your representative and senators pressuring them to read the 28 pages and to join the effort to declassify them:

  • Recommended: Cut-and-paste our sample language below into the online feedback form found on legislators’ websites. Use it word-for-word or edit it to add your own touch—but don’t blur your message by bringing up unrelated topics.
  • Use our pre-written, ready-to-print letters. Just print, fill in some basic information, sign it and mail it.

If you don’t know who your legislators are, start by finding your representative and your two senators. Those links will guide you to their websites where you’ll find contact information, including an online form for sending a message, the mailing address of their DC and local offices and their fax number. (Due to security measures, letters face long delays; consider using the online form or fax.)

House Representative: Suggested Language

As your constituent, I’m writing to ask you to cosponsor House Resolution 14, which urges the president to declassify 28 pages from the 2002 joint congressional inquiry into 9/11 that reveal foreign government links to the 9/11 hijackers.

When you reply, please answer two specific questions:

  • Have you read the 28 pages?
  • If not, have you requested permission from the House Intelligence Committee to do so?

Sincerely, [ Your name and address ]

As your constituent, I’m writing to ask you to cosponsor Senate Bill 1471, which urges the president to declassify 28 pages from the 2002 joint congressional inquiry into 9/11 that reveal foreign government links to the 9/11 hijackers.

When you reply, please answer two specific questions:

  • Have you read the 28 pages?
