Fax Congress on Farm Bill energy funding

Now is time to weigh in on 2004 spending levels for Farm Bill Energy Title programs. You can use a web-based fax system to send letters to all members of the House Agriculture Subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee in support of the Farm Bill's energy provisions. This subcommittee has the pivotal responsibility of recommending spending levels for these important programs, possibly in the next few weeks. Please click on the link below and send a letter on behalf of your organization/company that urges members of this subcommittee to support full funding for the Farm Bill's clean energy provisions. Please be sure to do the following:

1. A sample letter is provided, but please edit the letter and include the name of your organization, why it is important to your state, etc.

2. Make sure you add the organization name to the address box for your contact information (on the right side of the screen). This way, the organization name will show up on the faxes you send. (If your are already registered with the fax alert system as an individual, the organization name probably isn't in the address box and you will need to add this.)
