How to Influence Your Congressman on the JFK Files
Action items for everyone who supports Trump's executive order on assassination-related files.
If you missed the JFK Facts online rally for full JFK disclosure Thursday Jan. 30 at 8 pm EST, here’s what you can do.
Read the letter to President Trump from Reps. Steve Cohen, David Schweikert, and Tim Burchett. Read it carefully. This bipartisan group wants to put real teeth into Trump’s JFK order.
They are circulating a “Dear Colleague” in the House of Representatives asking other congressmen to support full and complete JFK disclosure.
Call your congressman’s Washington office and tell them what you think. Whether you get a person or a message machine, you want to tell your representative three things:
Sign on to the bipartisan “Dear Colleague" letter now circulated by Reps. Cohen, Schweikert, and Burchett.
Share the Cohen/Schweikert/Burchett bipartisan principles with other representatives to ensure President Trump’s order is enforced.
Leave your phone number and request a return call from the legislative assistant who handles “Dear Colleague” letters. Call back two days later.

Thanks for your support. It will make a difference.
I called my congressman, Ted Lieu's Washington DC office. I spoke to a very nice person who could only take a message from me asking his office to look into the "Dear Colleague" letter. I advocated for him to sign on to the letter and left my phone number asking for a callback from a staffer who dealt with such letters. We'll see if I get a callback!
I am actually lucky enough that my older brother went through high school with my congressman. I was able to briefly speak to him with a promise to follow up after the election. I believe I shared this with JFK Facts. He won his election and I can't help but feel that I might be in a more unique position than most when it comes to accessibility. In addition to advice already given on JFK Facts, I would appreciate anyone that has advice for someone in my specific position. Meaning, I'm not a stranger constituant getting the "I have to reply to him" phone call and Id like to get the ABSOLUTE most out of the time he gives me. Anything would help!
