Send an email to US President and Congressmen

Read the following suggestions from the Senate webmaster before you send.

     
     Your protest of the Peoples' Republic of China's Missle Test home page 
     has generated a number of electronic mail messages to Senators.
     
     I would like to offer a few suggestions.
     
     1) People using the form your website has provided should write to the 
     two Senators representing the state they reside in.  They should also 
     include an in-state mailing address.  Senate offices focus primarily 
     on messages sent from in-state residents.
     
     2) 72 Senators currently have e-mail addresses.  The other 28 
     (including Senator Bob Dole) do not have e-mail addresses.  A list of 
     Senators with e-mail addresses is available at
     
        http://www.senate.gov/senator/membmail.html
     
     For those Senators that do not have e-mail addresses, postal mail can 
     be sent using the following address format:
     
        Office of Senator (Name)
        United States Senate
        Washington, D.C. 20510
        
        For Committee inquiries:
        
        (Name of Committee)
        United States Senate
        Washington, D.C. 20510
        
     Messages sent to this e-mail account (webmaster@scc.senate.gov) are 
     not forwarded to the Senate office.  Questions or correspondence 
     directed to a specific Senate office must be placed with that office, 
     not with this account.
     
     Please add these notes to your form.  It will save everyone time and 
     energy.
     
     Best Wishes
     
     Senate Webmaster

A sample letter to President Clinton
Hint: copy, paste, improve, sign, and send

Dear President Clinton:

I am writing to urge you to take immediate actions to dissuade the Chinese government from conducting missile tests scheduled for March 8-15 off the coast of Taiwan. The sites of these tests are so close to Taiwan that they constitute imminent danger to the safety and security of 21 million people of Taiwan and pose a serious threat to stability of the entire Asian Pacific region.

At this moment I cannot help recalling your criticism of former President Bush for his "coddling" of China's murderous dictators after Tinanmen Square massacre during your last Presidential campaign. You were right then, and the time has come for you to take strong actions to stop China's aggression before it infringes severe damage on the people of Taiwan. The present situation in Taiwan Strait is on the verge of getting out of control, and it will cost a lot more to clean up the mess if China's aggression is not stopped right now.

Mr. President, it is absolutely necessary for you to take a strong measure to stop China immediately. As so clearly pointed out by Lucian Pye [New York Times, February 19th], the time for "quiet diplomacy" or "strategic ambiguity" has long passed. More importantly, your indecision will only add to the uncertainty of U.S.' commitment to maintain peace in the region. Hence, many countries of the region will be forced to re-evaluate their defense strategy and begin an undesirable and dangerous arms race.

Mr. President, I am pleading to you to immediately send the 7th fleet to Taiwan strait to prove to the world the United States' commitment to the stability of the entire Asian region. The safety and security of the 21 million people of Taiwan and the stability of the region are in stake. The people of Taiwan must be allowed to chart their country's destiny without the fear of a bullying China. Your decision will bear great influence on your presidency, which I would like to remember as the guardian of the world's peace and justice instead of an accessory to China's murderous dictators.


Sincerely yours,

Dear Senator Dole:

I am writing to express my great concern about China's missile tests 
scheduled for March 8-15 off the coast of Taiwan.  The sites of these tests
are so close to Taiwan that they constitute imminent danger to the
safety and security of 21 million people of Taiwan and pose a 
serious threat to stability of the entire Asian Pacific region.  

At this moment I cannot help recalling President Clinton's criticism of 
former President Bush for his "coddling" of China's murderous dictators
after Tinanmen Square massacre during his last Presidential campaign.  
I feel deeply betrayed by President Clinton and must now turn to you
to ask you to take strong Congressional actions to stop China before 
it infringes severe damage on the people of Taiwan.  The present 
situation in Taiwan Strait is on the verge of getting out of control, 
and it will cost a lot more to clean up the mess if China's aggression 
is not stopped right now.  

Mr. Senator, it is absolutely necessary for you to take a strong 
measure to stop China immediately.  As so clearly pointed out by
Lucian Pye [New York Times, February 19th], the time for 
"quiet diplomacy" or "strategic ambiguity" has long passed.  More
importantly, the U.S.' indecision will only add to the uncertainty of 
U.S.' commitment to maintain peace in the region.  Hence,
many countries of the region will be forced to re-evaluate their 
defense strategy and begin an undesirable and dangerous arms race.  

Mr. Senator, I am pleading to you to immediately urge the Clinton
Administration to send the 7th fleet to Taiwan straight to prove to 
the world the United States' commitment to the stability of the 
entire Asian region.  The safety and security of the 21 million 
people of Taiwan and the stability of the region are in stake.  
The people of Taiwan must be allowed to chart their country's 
destiny without the fear of a bullying China.  Your action will
be deeply appreciated by the concerned voters in the coming election.
