as well to rehabilitate and salvage their lives. The CCC would give us more bang for the buck and be accountable and would
avoid waste, fraud and overlap. It would be the best workforce for our public lands to maintain and manage them for
future generations. The Whitehouse contact site

Short version My name is ________and
I am from (town, state, zip). I urge (Representative or Senator) to reactivate
the United States Civilian Conservation Corps. Thank You. 2nd Script - Long version My name is ________and I am from (town,
state, zip code)
I urge(name of my policy maker) to bring back a 20th Century program called the U.S. Civilian Conservation Corps
into to the 21st Century .
The U.S. Civilian Conservation Corps is the best shovel ready program to date and would put many work boots on the ground
in a matter of weeks. The CCC would mobilize a large civilian workforce
of millions over time. The CCC would maintain and manage the environment and infrastructure on America's public
lands and waters and be of the people, for the people, and of the people. If you are a Veteran My name is ______ and from
(town, state, zip code). I am an Iraq War
Veteran and URGE YOU TO REACTIVATE the US Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). Together we own over 700 million acres of urban
and rural public lands. This civilian work program, over time, would enroll our young adults as a workforce of millions
to salvage our environment as well to salvage their lives. The U.S. Civilian Conservation Corps is the best shovel
ready program to date and would put many work boots on the ground in a matter of weeks. The CCC would avoid waste, fraud
and overlap of similar programs and would be the best workforce for our public lands to maintain and manage them for future
generations.
Right now health care is important but the #1 problem on Americans Minds is JOBS! As a young
adult and warrior I call on you that we need to fight for the health of our environment as well. Job recovery and conservation
was a mainstay of FDR. The CCC worked then and would work well now by giving us good work experience and at the same
time benefit our democractic republic. EMAIL
YOUR POLICY MAKERS Email is effective. Be sure to keep the email messages clear and concise, and if you are a veteran
make sure to identify yourself as one. Please personalize
your message. Example of a letter to send to his policy
maker This concern has been quietly voiced for over two
years now by one of VFP's members (Jay Alexander) in Florida. I happen to agree with him.. A reenactment of
the CCC would be a good thing for the country, and good for Maine, a state where the original CCC had a positive impact on employment and morale during the Great Depression.
Please bring this to the attention of the Representative. Regards, Michael

Key House Committees and Subcommittees
Positive change will not happen, unless we make it happen. Actions speak louder than words. Contacting
elected officials is easier and more effective than most people realize. Voice your support for the reactivation of the United States Civilian Conservation Corps. Thank you for using your 1st amendment right to petition our government. Scroll down the list of Committees and see if your policy maker
in on a key committee and him or her and the committee aware of that fact. Now take the next step and call the Capitol Switchboard (212) 224-3121 and patch through to
a Key Committee or Subcommittee involved in reactivation of the CCC.
Your are contacting the worker bees who
create of our laws of the land. Be sure to thank them for their service.
