Does Anyone Here Use 'Progressive Secretary?'
Progressive Letter Writing Cooperative

Would you like a cooperative way to get your voice heard in Washington?
It's free!

Progressive Secretary sends out progressive email letters to Congress, the President, and other officials on peace, ecology, civil rights and other issues.

The letters are suggested by participants in the cooperative and are sent to you as a proposal.

If you tell us to "send", then the letters are sent to your Congress people and others noted in the proposal over your signature and return address. A report is sent to you.

If you like, you can send the letters yourself.

Letters are not sent without your specific OK.

Your name and email are never given out except to recipients of your letters.

There is no charge for this. We volunteer our time because Jim and Pat are Quakers and long-time activists, and we believe in helping progressive people make their voices heard on important issues. There are no advertisements or other annoyances. You can cancel at any time.

Some current letters include:

Ashcroft stay out of medical records

Block Myers appointment

Boykin should resign!

Bush fire education secretary Paige

Bush fire Rumsfeld

Censure Bush

Cheney: prove your charges or resign!

Close the WHISC

CNN show concern for Iraqi civilians

Congress investigate Iraq torture

Congress oppose federal marriage amendment

I've used Progressive Secretary for the past couple of years, and if I had saved all the letters in response, they would fill five shoeboxes (13 EEE).

1. I hadn't ever heard of this,
I'll be signing up. I send letters to my representatives from time to time when information is brought to my attention in e-mails. This way will make it much easier. thanks

2. I used to...
...but I signed up with an email address that I use to sign up for things and I get so much spam that the only way I can manage is to check in every couple days and delete everything.

I was a volunteer for them for a while to. I think it's a pretty good service. I've just not bothered to sign up with a new addy.
