One of the most important rights every U.S. citizen possesses is the ability to voice an opinion to his or her elected officials. Indeed, it is fundamental to our system of government that we help our executive and congressional leaders make the most informed decisions possible and ensure that those decisions are reflective of our desires and priorities.

Several Coalition members and partners have posted special forms on their Web sites that allow interested U.S. citizens to contact their representatives in the federal government. The US Coalition for Child Survival encourages advocates in the United States to utilize these resources and make their voices heard:
