Guys, Can you please take some time during the week ( preferably , if not you can leave a message ) and make a few phone calls in support of the bhopal gas victims. They have been fighting for their basic survival for the past 25 years. This is a big opportunity for people like us to be a part of the campaign and help make a difference. Please let me know if you do make a call and to whom. cheers Suresh Details below Please take a moment to call your member of the House of Representatives today. You can find their name and number in this website: http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/ If you can call today or during a work day, great. Otherwise, it's great to leave messages as well!
Here are some sample talking points: 1. I am a volunteer/member of the Campaign for Justice in Bhopal. -> If you get someone on the phone, you could ask to deal with the person Foreign or Environmental issues 2. I'm calling about the Congressional Sign on Letter that Congressman Pallone has circulated. It's addressed to Dow Chemical Company's CEO and Board and it urges Dow to clean up the site of the world's worst industrial disaster in Bhopal, India and to face the rule of law in India. 3. I want to make sure the Congress member knows how strongly his/her constituents, like myself, feel about the Bhopal Issue. I sincerely hope that Congress member XX will sign on to the letter. -> If you're actually talking to an environmental or foreign affairs aide, you could ask them if they think that the Congress member will sign it or if they want you to send a copy if they haven't seen it (find a copy and more info here).
