Call your legislators (202) 224-3121 and ask for them by name.
For your senators go to www.senate.gov
and log on to their websites by selecting your state on the Senate
web page.
For your Congressional Representative, find the House website
at www.house.gov. Send emails
urging them all to sponsor legislation for creation of Cat Day
as an official holiday and also for issuance of a Cat Day stamp.
See sample message below. Let them know you want action and you
want it now!
[Here's the kind of message to send]
Dear _____________,
I write to bring to your attention the shocking fact that while
there are a whole bunch of holidays set aside for honoring all
sorts of people, causes, places, and events, there still isn¹t
one to celebrate one of God's noblest creations namely domestic
cats (aka pussy cats, tabbys, and felines), beloved by hundreds
of millions, from the lowly to the mighty. Maybe one or more are
living in your home, in which case you are already familiar with
the wonders of this splendid species. Or, if you're not one of
those fortunate enough to enjoy the blessings of having a cat
in your life, please know that these amazing, companionable
creatures, because of the many gifts they confer upon humankind,
deserve to be honored with their very own national holiday.
Therefore, I urge you to employ the power of your office along
with arm-twisting and calling in chits from colleagues who owe
you a big one to bring about a resolution to establish Cat Day,
and also lobby for issuance of a Cat Day stamp, so this rank injustice
will, at long last, be set right.
Sincerely yours,
(or even better, send a message in your own words.)
