Contact your members of Congress and help FCNL launch a new campaign: Our Nation's Checkbook. This campaign challenges Congress to reformulate budget priorities away from spending on war and towards spending on the needs in our communities.

Take Action

Please write and mail a letter to your new or returning representative. Urge her or him to use the money saved from withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq to expand access to health care, provide scholarships to university students, hire more elementary school teachers, and invest in renewable energy.

• See suggestions for writing a personal note to your representative, introducing FCNL and urging him or her to think about new spending priorities for the country.
• Download and print information to mail to your representative along with your letter:
  • Information about FCNL (PDF)
  • A list of FCNL's recent legislative successes (PDF)
  • How much will taxpayers in your state have spent on the war in Iraq by January? What might have that Iraq money bought for people in our communities?
• Find contact information for your members of Congress: Find the district office address.
