Activism Needed for NH Men's Commission

	posted by Scott on Friday April 18, @11:16AM from the announcements dept.
	After being very patient with the new Governor of New Hampshire, the NH chapter of the National Congress for Fathers and Children is asking for help in a focused letter writing campaign to get the final members of the New Hampshire Commission on the Status of Men (NHCSM) appointed so that the Commission may fulfill its duties. We suffered attempted sabotage of the commission last year by former Governor Shaheen and now have a more neutral Governor, Craig Benson, in office. However, he apparently doesn't understand the urgency of making these nominations. Please help us demonstrate to Governor Benson that a lot of people care about this Commission and want the nominations to be made immediately. Click here to participate in this campaign. Note that you do not need to be a NH resident for your letter to count. And thank you in advance for your help!

Sample Letters? (Score:0) by Anonymous User on Friday April 18, @01:18PM EST (#1) Does anyone out there who is close to this legislation have brief sample letters that we could use? Mark

(Score:1) by Scott (scott@mensactivism.org) on Friday April 18, @02:12PM EST (#2) (User #3 Info) Something like this should do the trick: Governor Craig Benson Office of the Governor 25 Capitol Street Concord, NH 03301 Dear Governor Benson, I am writing to let you know that the New Hampshire Commission on the Status of Men is still in need of two more appointments and that your nominations are urgently needed. This is a groundbreaking Commission and I support its mission to address critical issues such as men's health, fatherlessness, and education. The men of New Hampshire and their loved ones have a lot to gain from the work that this Commission can do. Many people from out of state are also looking to this Commission to set a precedent for similar efforts in their own states. The only thing hampering progress right now is the need for all of the members to be appointed. Please make these nominations as soon as possible. I also urge you to carefully consider the applications of Michael Geanoulis and Scott Garman, both of whom have shown a great deal of energy and creativity in advocating for men's issues while dealing with limited financial resources. I believe they would be excellent Commission members. Thank you for your time, YOUR NAME ------------------------- You can leave out the specific appointment suggestions if you'd like. I hate for this to seem so self serving but the fact that we received so many dangerous nominations last year from our former governor makes me feel the need to promote specific people this time to avoid a similar situation. Thanks, Scott
