  Mrs. KELLY. Mr. Speaker, at this time I would like to commend the 
work of a national organization called Write Your Congressmen. Founded 
in 1958, this organization helps focus and amplify the voice of the 
American people.
  National Write Your Congressmen, Inc. provides the voters with an 
opinion ballot that outlines every side of the issues. They simply 
present the facts, in order to educate the public. And by doing so, 
they are creating a more responsible America.
  There is nothing more important than citizen involvement in the 
democracy we have formed. By communicating their positions to their 
elected Representatives we create a true democracy. My colleagues and I 
welcome the information provided by the members of National Write Your 
Congressmen. This organization is truly dedicated to the betterment of 
America. Their interest is purely in encouraging citizens to be 
directly involved in their law making process. I am impressed by their 
candor and inspired by their cause.
  Mr. Speaker, at this time I would encourage all my colleagues to 
become involved with National Write Your Congressmen, Inc., and I thank 
them for providing a more effective way of education and communication 
for all people, nationwide.
