EXAMPLE OF ADVOCACY LETTER

*COURTESY OF GENUN

The Honorable (full name)

(Room #) (Name) Senate or House Office Building United States Senate or United States House

of Representatives Washington, DC 20510

Dear [Senator/Representative],

Recent bipartisan polling by the Better World Campaign and the United Nations Foundation

shows that the majority of Americans -- across party lines -- view the UN as a vital global forum

for diplomacy, discussion, and action to resolve the most pressing issues confronting the world.

The United States Senate has stood with approximately 8 in 10 American voters who say it is

important for the U.S. to maintain an active role in the UN, and 64 percent of those who favor

the U.S. paying its dues to the UN on time and in full.

I ask you to support the following Senate figures for the UN budget in 2013.

 $2.148 billion for international peacekeeping activities including $2.0 billion within the

Contributions to International Peacekeeping Activities (CIPA) account and $142 million

within Peacekeeping Operations (PKO) for the African Union mission in Somalia;

 Maintain the Senate-recommended lift of the arbitrary 25% peacekeeping cap and allow

the U.S. to pay its peacekeeping dues at the full assessed rate of 27%.

The UN will not succeed without a strong U.S. commitment, and effective global policy through

a strong U.S.-UN relationship begins in our district. Please use your voice in Congress to reaffirm

your support for full funding for the UN and UN peacekeeping operations.

Sincerely, [Your Name]

[Your Chapter]

[Your Address]
