A couple years ago, legislation for immigration reform failed to pass in Congress. Since then people of many faiths have prayed that our broken immigration system might be healed.
Secretary Napolitano recently indicated that in early 2010 she will push for comprehensive immigration reform. Meaningful, comprehensive immigration reform is only achievable if it is compassionate and just. It must recognize that all people are of equal sacred worth. It must recognize the value of family. Our current system has created broken homes and broken families torn apart by distance. Representative Mike Honda recognizes these realities and has proposed changes that would move in this direction.
We can bring awareness to our congressional delegation of this important social issue by joining thousands of people of faith in sending them postcards. There are three simple steps to making this happen.
- Get three postcards from Wesley. They were distributed at worship today. Remaining postcards are in the center office.
- Add a personal message and sign each postcard. Address them to your U.S. senators and representative. If you are registered to vote in this district, then your congressional delegation is composed of:
If you are registered to vote in this district, your congressional delegation is composed of- Sen. Roland Burris
387 Russell Senate Office Building
District of Columbia 20510-1305 - Sen. Richard Durbin
309 Hart Senate Office Building
District of Columbia 20510-1304 - Rep. Timothy Johnson
1207 Longworth House Office Building
District of Columbia 20515-1315
- Sen. Roland Burris
- Return them to Wesley by December 20. We will send them to Interfaith Immigration Coalition, who will send a united collective voice to Congress.
