[反HR1044] 我的议员信模板

参众两院议员名单

这个是不是他们scheduler的email list对吧，不是senator本人的

已发！感谢lz! 建议可以reorg一下，把这个bill为什么是indian first, indian only放前面，还有h1b abuse以及怎样影响american worker的放前面，diversity放后面。

发了才看到说不要发...

补充内容 (2019-7-11 12:36):
群发了一些  希望会有作用

刚刚给本州参议员网站上的联系框吏留言了反对的理由

我写的信，发给了几个Senator

Dear Senator,

Bill HR 1044 was passed in House, I hope you can vote NO in Senate on HR 1044.

Although I disagree with HR 1044, I agree with Indian people's requests on fairness. Indian engineers have made a great contribution to US High-Tech industries. Those engineers, including my Indian colleagues, absolutely deserve a US green card(GC). Now they have to wait for more than 10 years for a green card. It is necessary to take some action to shorten their GC application process. However, HR 1044 has a huge disadvantage: EB2/3 Green Card will only be granted to Indian applicants from 2023-2029. Applicants from other countries will have no chance to get GC in those six years.  It means it will reject minority genius from other countries in that six years. For example, a super talented engineer from Vietnam comes to US in 2023 and then he/she will wait for 6 or more years for GC if HR 1044 passed. Then he/she may leave US which is great loss for US. As we know, a genius has much more positive impact for this country comparing to ordinary people.

To solve this dilemma,  I suggest to change this bill a little bit. Let's still keep current country based limit.  I think there must be left quota  each year. Let's grant those quata to applicants in waiting list without country based limit just based on their priority date. If we do that, US will gather genius from all other countries and pay more attention to fairness.

我很想知道美国的民主是这么运作的吗，不是说出了什么事去.org请愿petition是最弟弟的行为吗，我们这么spam ...

虽然的确很低级，但是聊胜于无吧。总比什么都不做好

不要邮箱群发！这样达不到效果，反而会引起人反感。应该去自己州senator的网站上，contact他们。他们这些邮件都是要人工审核的，不在数量，但是要有质量。我觉得一定要加一些personalize的东西。每个州就两个议员，就提交你自己州这两个就好了，花点心思写两句，提高质量！不要去盲目flood别人的邮箱。这个不是谁发的多就有用，重要是get your opinion heard。另外，发的时候一定要记得去掉一亩三分地的水印，有好几个！望扩散！

用这个模板的同学请注意
直接copy/paste会有隐藏的字符
baidu 1point3acres什么的
请删掉之后再发

我群发之后，被人直接说“take me off the list"。我个人觉得大家用同一个模版，不停地群发，不仅不能表达 ...

我就说了群发spam会不会不好……还有人骂我不作为。

不建议直接复制模板群发，想想如果是自己邮箱收到一堆来源不明的群发的一模一样的邮件会感觉如何？可以参考以下步骤：
1、Google自己所在州名+senator，找到自己州senator的信息；或者直接去这个网站上选自己的州就能找到：https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members
2、点进senator的个人主页，找到类似于contact或者留言的地方，一般都会有
3、填写自己的信息（住址，电话，姓名等），然后在具体内容里根据LZ总结的几点原因并综合议员的党派自己写一下，就当托福作文来写好了
4、submit

我觉得这样能证明自己确实是这个州的resident，比用一个谁也不知道是谁的邮箱地址给所有人群发模板邮件更可能引起关注。理论上senator是对自己州的居民（or 公民？）负责的。
