Contact Your Representatives and let your voice be heard!

[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.)
