NAMI Launches New Legislative Action Center

Since 2003, NAMI's Web site has featured online information and tools to help you understand current legislation affecting people with mental illness and to take action by contacting your representatives. Now they've made it even easier for you to affect change with the launch of a new and improved Legislative Action Center.

Featuring:

• Improved reliability: Over the past few years, Congress has taken steps to manage the volume of e-mails it receives, which in some cases has made it more difficult for you to contact your senators and representatives. NAMI is now partnered with CapWiz, an industry leader, to ensure that your online messages get through.
• Congressional voting records: Find out how your legislators voted on issues important to you.
• Elections and voting: Learn more about the candidates in your area, and in some cases, even register to vote online.
• No sign-in required: Just click and go!

All of these tools and more are available when you visit NAMI's new Legislative Action Center. And with just a few clicks of your mouse you can contact your representatives by customizing a form letter from NAMI or composing a message of your own.
