                       COMMENDING AMERICANS WRITE

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. DAVE CAMP

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 15, 2005

  Mr. CAMP. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Americans Write, an 
organization that is committed to helping the people of Northern 
Michigan contact their elected officials.
  Americans Write builds on the success of other well-known national 
opinion ballot organizations, by incorporating issues of the day in its 
monthly newsletters. By focusing on issues that are most important to 
its recipients, Americans Write provides the opportunity and 
inspiration for individuals to engage in the democratic process.
  It is important that all Americans become involved in our government, 
to ensure that their voices are heard. As Americans become increasingly 
busy, it becomes more important to have organizations like Americans 
Write to facilitate easy communication with their elected officials.
  I commend Americans Write for their efforts in keeping 
representatives at every level of government apprised of the issues 
important to the American people.
