MRA CALL TO ACTION: Email A Letter To Your Federal Senator And Representative

For all you so-called "Men's Rights Activists" out there who have yet to email your Senator or Congressional Representative, the below letter is a template you can use, modify, edit, and email.  If you do nothing else, you should be periodically doing this.  I'll soon give an example of what you should write to your State-level Senators and Representatives who are sometimes more active in passing anti-male laws.

Below are are the websites that can direct you to the email portal of your members of Congress:

Dear Senator or Representative (Fill in the Blank):

I am a registered voter of the ##th Congressional District of (Your State). I write this letter as an appeal for your support in stemming the tide of discrimination against men, and repealing anti-male legislation which is often passed under the guise of feminist or "women's rights" legislation.

While on the surface, any legislation that prevents discrimination or undue hardship towards women is positive. However, much of this legislation has created unfairness, undue hardship, and discrimination against men.

For example, the VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) discriminates against men by not permitting shelter funding for male victims of abuse, and for presuming that only women can be victims.

The IMBRA (International Marriage Brokers Regulation Act) which treats all American men seeking US visas for their foreign fiancees and spouses as if they were criminals, and it requires their personal information be passed to the foreign individuals (women) out of more concern for them then the American sponsor (men).

More and more affluent and taxpaying men are choosing to emigrate away from the USA due to the suffocating effect that feminist-inspired legislation has exacted upon men in the USA. There is a plethora of men's rights advocate groups on the internet that are growing due to these types of laws that create more injustice than they seek to prevent.

Our appeal is for you to more closely scrutinize all new "women's rights" legislation for language that would be discriminatory towards men. Second, please support all efforts to modify the discriminatory language in current federal laws like VAWA and IMBRA.

Two additional issues worthy of change would be to require females also to register for the Selective Service, and to require women to serve in combat arms occupations in the US military. Women currently receive pay and promotions at the same rate as men in the US military, yet they are not required to shoulder the same burdens that men shoulder. Equal pay for equal work is a goal we wish to see actually achieved in more than just lip-service.

Falling rates of marriage, male academic underachievement, and discriminatory treatment of men vis a vis women in the criminal justice system are rife in this society. If the opinions of American men with whom I correspond are any indication, we are in the verge of seeing men checking out of this society and emigrating with their votes and tax dollars in increasing measure.

American men are becoming more and more cognizant of the legislators working towards fairness between men and women, and of those who blindly support feminist-pressured legislation to the detriment of men. We ask that you be among the first we can identify as hospitable to fairness between the sexes. We hope that you, and several others, can lead the vanguard against anti-male legislative agendas and bring about gender equilibrium in this society.

Many thanks for listening to our concerns. For more information on men's rights, please avail yourself of the below:

Immigration Reform Or Death!

Few can dispute that current immigration policy is outdated and undermining to the national interest. Yes, small practical improvements have been made after 9/11, as we are more thoroughly screening and identifying our international visitors with state of the art technology. However, there has been a negligent lack of attention paid to our Immigration and Nationality Act. The current law reflects the needs of a bygone era. Part of the reason for the lack of reform is a persistent national fear of being branded elitist, fascist, and exclusionary. But the bigger reason involves a lack of realization that there can exist an immigration policy that reflects both American ideals of fairness as well as the national interests of the United States.

To understand American immigration policy, it must be clear that official permission to come into the United States comes on the form of a United States visa. The two chief types of visas are the immigrant visa, issued to those seeking permanent resident status, and the non-immigrant visa, issued to those seeking to temporary visitor status. Although these two types of visas are different in purpose and scope, they both have profound impacts upon the nature of our society.

Immigrant visas are currently issued under the three major categories of professional capability, family unification, and national-origin diversity. Historically, these three categories have benefited America by welcoming legions of honest and productive immigrants of from many backgrounds and persuasions. However, today’s immigration needs are vastly different from those of the time period when the Immigration and Nationality Act was written. We are, without a doubt, a most pluralistic and diverse country which has been seasoned with an international richness envied the world over.

However, enough is enough. Our national character is now sufficiently broad and diverse that we have the wherewithal to be most choosy with regard to whom we grant immigrant status. I submit that American immigration policy be changed to reflect entirely need-based criteria. The family unification and diversity categories have lived fruitful and beneficial lives, but they should now be curtailed if not ended outright. Who could be against a policy that welcomes sorely needed physicians, teachers, nurses, physicists, linguists as well as farm hands, factory workers, and menial labor workers; we need them all. Regardless of national origin, race or religion, so long as they fulfill needs of the American labor market, we need them all.

As for the non-immigrant visas, current American policy grants temporary visitor status to those who can demonstrate they don’t plan to permanently stay in the United States. This policy is sound in concept but poor in administration as many “temporary visitors” immediately seek to adjust their temporary status to immigrant status once they reach the United States. They do this because the Immigration and Nationality Act explicitly permits them to do so. This provision of law should be abrogated in all but the most emergent of circumstances. Since each of these temporary visitors was required to demonstrate an intention to not remain in the US, status adjustment flies in the face of the initial weeding mechanism for temporary visitors. In case you’ve ever wondered why hundreds of people line up each day outside Citizenship and Immigration Services offices (formerly the Immigration and Naturalization Service), many of them are seeking to adjust their temporary visitor status to immigrant status. Most of these temporary visitors are indeed denied permission to adjust to immigrant status, but according to the Federation for American Immigration Reform, an estimated 40 percent of the 10 million illegal alien residents in the United States, entered our borders with legitimate temporary visitor visas. Who can blame them given the naive permissiveness of our current law?

That immigration reform is considered a mantra of bigots, fascists and right-wing ideologues is understandable. European demagogues have injected the issue with so much political venom, its very mention gives ordinary people slight pause. Unfortunately, this perception renders it a complex issue to confront. Such is all the more reason American policymakers should take a bold leadership role in formulating a new immigration policy that reflects the present-day national interest. Perhaps then, the rest of the developed world might have the political courage to follow suit without fear of being characterized by the dreaded X word, xenophobia.
