---------------------------------------------------------------- DRAFT letter to Michael Arcuri your
name date Congressman Michael Arcuri Dear Mr. Arcuri, I am writing to urge you to take immediate and forceful action to prevent escalation of the war in Iraq and to begin prompt and safe withdrawal of our troops from Iraq. I am one of your constituents. I have been talking and meeting with other constituents of yours who feel the same way I do. Many of them have signed a statement that says this: “We, the undersigned, demand that the Administration and the Congress take immediate action to prevent military conflict with Iran, to prevent escalation of the Iraq War, and to commence prompt and safe withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.” I have enclosed copies of some of the petitions they have signed. Many of us who voted for you did so in large part because we believed you would work to end the war in Iraq and bring our troops home. We urge you to take a leadership role in working strongly and immediately toward that goal. Sincerely, ---------------------------------------------------------------- The draft letter shown above was discussed at the meeting of the Iraq/Iran Workgroup of the Coalition for Democracy of Central New York on March 8, 2007. It is designed to be used as a cover letter for those who are sending copies of our petition to Michael Arcuri. You can copy the text above and paste it into a word processing program (such as Microsoft Word), edit it as you like, and then print it. NOTE: This will work better if you do NOT just copy and paste. Instead, do this:
[The reason for using this procedure is to prevent the text from being pasted as HTML code, which can sometimes come out incorrectly.]
Alternatively, if you prefer, you also can click here to open the draft letter as a Microsoft Word document or as a plain text file. You also can open the letter as a pdf file and then print it directly, but if you use the pdf file the text cannot be edited and it has no return address, so you will need to write your return address and the date on the letter before mailing it. A note on mailing this letter and petitions: Mail is most effectively sent to Arcuri’s Utica office because mail to his Washington, D.C. office is inspected and is likely to be delayed. The following contact information for Arcuri is from his website at http://arcuri.house.gov/contact.shtml Utica, NY office: Washington, D.C. office:
