To all who will volunteer to join me in this Congressional
lobbying campaign:

I've announced, in other postings, that I am mailing a humanitarian
appeal to many ministers, priests and rabbis, who lead congregations in 
my Congressionial district, urging them to urge their congressman to work 
to provide sanctuary in the U.S. for the imperiled Vietnamese refugees. 

In your mailing, you may wish to include a page that reads as such:

  * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
   If you would be so kind as to send me a copy of your letter to
   our congressman, or even just a note affirming that action, I
   will broadcast it throughout North America via Usenet, a computer
   video text intercommunications network whose subscribers consist 
   of thousands of professors, students and employees at many (or most)
   universities and major corporations in the U.S.A and Canada.
   The medium of Usenet gives all subscribers access to read, on their 
   video display terminals, all writings posted by any and all 
   subscribers, on a vast array of topics.
  * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Also, I called my congressman's local district office and got a list of 
the cities and towns comprising my Congressional district.

Once we figure out the right buttons to push, this monster machine
will begin moving forward.
