On January 12, 2009, MGMbill.org
resubmitted the
Male Genital Mutilation
Bill proposal to every member of the 111th Congress
for consideration. Our
state offices also submitted
state level MGM
Bill proposals to every member of 13 U.S. state
legislatures.
The goal of this effort is to encourage lawmakers to step
forward and sponsor one or more of these bills.
If you support the MGM Bill
proposals on this site,
you can help improve their chances of becoming law by
taking these five steps:
W rite your local
House
and
Senate
congressional members along with President
Obama
and ask them to sponsor the MGM Bill
proposal (feel free to
use or modify one of our sample letters to help get
you started).
Be sure to enclose
a printed copy of
the MGM Bill proposal with each letter for
reference (or copy and paste the
bill text if you are
writing via email).
 
Scan and
forward the
reply letters from your elected leaders to us so we can post them to the
Government Responses page
along with a response of our own
(if you don't have access to a scanner,
contact us to
send a copy to our postal mailing address). For government response
letters in email format, just forward the entire message
to
comments@mgmbill.org as an attachment, or by
using the "Forward" button in your email
program.
It is important that we hold our government leaders
publicly accountable for the actions they take while in
office, and you can help do that by letting the world know what
your elected officials are telling you.
If you want to have your state represented in the next
annual MGM Bill proposal submission (scheduled for
January, 2010), consider becoming a temporary
MGMbill.org state office.
Together, we can bring the practice of male genital
mutilation to an end in this country.
