Continue the Save Mars Phone/Fax Blitz
In the past week, the Mars Society "Save Mars Phone/Fax Blitz" has been a tremendous success. So far, almost 400 faxes have been sent and numerous phone calls have been made to Congress requesting that they remove the anti-Mars language that has been placed in the House version of the budget.
If you haven't yet called or faxed your members of Congress, please do so soon using our automated system (username "tms", password "fax", no quotes on either). We would like to have a total of 1,000 faxes sent within the next couple of weeks. It is imperative to remind both houses of Congress that the American people support human missions to Mars. If you have called your members of Congress or plan to, please let us know by dropping us an email at Marspolitics@yahoo.com.
For information on this effort, see our original message.
Save Mars Home District Blitz
The Home District Blitz is also beginning to gain momentum. Several Mars Society chapters are already scheduling meetings with the members of Congress. However, this effort will not be successful without more participation. If you have interest in setting up a meeting or participating in a meeting with your members of Congress, please let us know. You can get information on this program here.
