Do you want to see space settlement happen, but aren't sure how you can help? A powerful first step is contacting your Congressmen and local media by letter, email, or phone and expressing your support. Your voice is more powerful than you think. Members of Congress and the media know that each person who contacts them may represent hundreds of others who never choose to speak out.
| The Space Settlement Institute has identified Land Claims Recognition on the Moon, Mars, and other celestial bodies as the most powerful financial incentive for making space settlement a reality (and a necessary first step to get the ball rolling), and at no cost to taxpayers. Do you think Congress should form a committee to investigate the merits of Lunar Land Claims Recognition legislation? Then let your Senators and Congressman know how you feel! Inform your local newspapers and television stations as well, so they can help bring the issue into the spotlight. |
"Write Your Lawmaker" web sticker
From the Write to Congress web sticker above, access the congress.org website by typing your ZIP code in the Enter Your ZIP Code box and then clicking the GO button. Your own Congressmen will be listed on the congress.org page, with links you can use to write them an email or create a hard copy letter to mail. Click the "Compose Your Own Message" link to start a new email to send or a letter that you can print out. Letters automatically have the correct mailing address at the top. There is even a link you can use to send an email to the President.
"Contact the Media" web sticker
Click the Contact the Media web sticker above to access the media search page on congress.org. On that page, you can search for specific media (newspapers, television, and so on) by ZIP code, by the name of an individual in that organization, or by state. After completing the search, select which media organization(s) to contact and compose an email to send or a letter to print out. As with the Congressional letters, media letters automatically have the correct mailing address at the top.
