AARO - Americans Abroad Caucus - Overseas Americans Week in D.C.
Dear AARO Members,
Many of you will have read the below excerpt from the recent AARO Paris News and Views newsletter.
For those of you who didn't, please take notice and respond as you see fit.
The issue of giving voice in Washington to issues raised by Americans living overseas is one of AARO's core reasons for existence. The Americans Abroad Caucus came into being largely as a result of the actions of AARO Members in Paris and is a significant step forward in representation of Overseas Americans.
Please support the Caucus, they represent you!
Feel free to write direct to Andy Coyne in Paris at the address below if you have any questions.
Jeremy Willis
AARO Prague Events Chair
URGENT ACTION NEEDED!
*************************************************************************************
AARO needs your help on the Hill!
In preparation for the upcoming Overseas Americans Week (April 14-18),
we need you to write to Congress to help us increase the membership
of the Americans Abroad Caucus.
To do so, go to www.congress.org, enter your US zip code in the box
on the left-hand side and then one-by-one click on each of your
members of Congress (your Representative and your two Senators)
and click on "Contact via Web Form" and then "Compose Your
Own Letter" to send your email message.
Feel free to refer to the model letter available on the AARO website
Most importantly of all, after you have sent your letters, email AARO Paris
Executive Vice President Andy Coyne at andy@aaro.org to tell him
which members of Congress you contacted regarding the Americans
Abroad Caucus and the name of your home town and state.
Andy will then follow up with your Representative and Senators to
schedule personal visits on your behalf during OAW to encourage
them to join the AAC.
If you have any problems or questions, don't hesitate to contact
Andy at andy@aaro.org.
