The blitz begins!
Today you will be heard… we will be heard… as we speak with one voice for Saeed Abedini.
Step One: Email your leaders!
1.Please email each of your state’s two US Senators. Contact info can be found here:http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm
2.Please look up and then email your Representative in the House. http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/
3.Please email the White House http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/submit-questions-and-comments
We suggest your emails be BRIEF, RESPECTFUL, and SPECIFIC.
The following is a suggested format for those looking for assistance in drafting their emails. You can send the same email to all 4 individuals, just addressing each one separately as needed.
1st paragraph) Identify yourself as their constituent, but also as one of (however many we have by then) thousands of like minded men and women across the country that are concerned over the injustice of Saeed Abedini’s continued imprisonment in Iran. A link to the facebook page could be included here as proof of our numbers.
2nd paragraph) Thank them for their previous support in calling on Iran to release Saeed. Then express your disappointment that a nuclear agreement with Iran was recently made that did not include Saeed’s release.
3rd paragraph) Express that religious freedom and the return of an American citizen to his family is a bipartisan issue that all Americans of whatever political party should support. Ask them to use all of their influence to help bring Saeed home.
Close with a thank you.
It is very important to make this effort. You could also fax the same letter to their office, post on their facebook, and of course personally telephone their office and talk to a staff person. However, please at minimum send these four emails.
Step 2: Facebook!
Change your profile pic (if you haven’t already) to one of Pastor Saeed and post a link to this page and encourage others to do what you are doing!
Step 3: Twitter!
If there is a link under a name you can simply click to send the tweet.
