65th Infantry CGM Congressional Outreach Best Practices

Picture
The following is a list of successful best practices for congressional outreach from supporters around the nation. Please feel free to implement these within your respective regions.

If you formulate any "Best Practices" of your own, please contact us with your recommendation(s).


- Supporter has taken a group of signed letters to the local Congressional office- Supporters have lobbied for a Congressional official to be the 65th Infantry CGM
  “CHAMPION” among their state’s Congressional delegation and among the congress-member's Congressional circles                                                                  
- Supporters have requested their local newspapers to write an article; Write letters to the editor
- Supporters have made appointments with their local Congressional offices with a Borinqueneer veteran

- Supporters have gone on the RADIO to promote the 65th Infantry CGM
- Supporters have asked their local Korean War Veteran Chapters for letters of support (Find a local Korean War chapter)
- Supporters have requested city, county, and state and governor proclamations, resolutions.
- Supporters have sent pre-stamped envelopes with pre-written support letters ready for their friends and family to sign and mail-off to their local Congressional offices,  
  not the D.C. offices. (It takes longer to arrive to the D.C. office)

- Build 65th Infantry CGM Alliances in your states!!!
- Have your Congress member send out a DEAR-COLLEAGUE letter. (email message gets sent to all of the House of Reps, Senators and staff members)
- Contact your state’s American Legion and VFW departments especially the legislative representatives. Also contact your local Association of the United States 
  Army (AUSA) chapters (Find your local AUSA Chapters)
- Contact your local or state Hispanic Chamber of Commerce for support

- Check if your state has a collective Veterans Council, Association, etc. and contact them for support
- Contact your state reps, state senators, county commissioners, city council, mayors, etc.. to influence your state’s congressional delegation to co-sponsor.
