Contact Your Local Congressional Representative 

1. It is crucial that our representatives in government know that pro-lifers want the FACE Act repealed, and our activists free, rather than behind bars. We want to live in a world where you don't face decades in prison for nonviolent, peaceful pro-life activities. It is up to each of us to contact our representatives on a local, state, and federal level and let them know we want them to #RepealFACE. Here are a few ideas of how you can do this:

• Write an email to your rep about your own pro-life convictions and your personal ties to the defendants in this FACE trial

• Call your reps and request that they focus their attentions on the pro-life issue and the disproportionate targeting of pro-lifers by the DOJ

• Tweet at your reps if Twitter is your thing!

• Here's an example of a quick email to your rep:

Dear Representative,

I am a constituent in your district and I am writing to you about the FACE Act. I, along with many Americans, want the FACE Act repealed so that pro-lifers are able to exercise free speech activities. The unborn need you to stand up for them, and I am asking you to move quickly to protect pro-lifers and babies.
