Please participate with us in these CURRENT ACTIONS:
(REQUESTS FOR LETTERS, SIGNATURES ON PETITIONS, ETC.)

Please fax your letters if at all possible.  Letters mailed to WASHINGTON are now taken to holding areas for bio-terrorism checks,
 we now hear, making them a very slow way to contact Congress. 
If writing to our Hawaii representatives by postal mail, send your letters to the Honolulu address.
