Association Offers Congressional Guide

Week of January 14, 2008

The Fleet Reserve Association (FRA) is offering a free guide called "Communicate With Your Elected Officials" to help Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen and their families participate in the legislative process. The guide provides contact information for members of Congress, a roster of key committees, the proper ways to format correspondence and definitions of key election terms. It also highlights legislative issues related to military personnel such as pay increases, benefit parity and Montgomery GI Bill funding. To order a free copy of the guide, send an e-mail request to bethw@fra.org with your name, mailing address, rank and branch of service or call 800-FRA-1924.

Visit the Legislative Center on Military.com for more information on issues and legislation.
