The

States House of Representatives
Washington,
DC 20515
Dear
Representative _______:
On
behalf of the [enter number of members]
members of the [enter name of group],
thank you for cosponsoring H.R. 701, the Conservation
and Reinvestment Act (CARA). We
greatly appreciate your joining
with more than two thirds of the
House of Representatives to advance
this unprecedented $2.8 billion
annual investment to protect America’s
parks and wildlife.
The
broad, bipartisan support that CARA
has received from its approximately
317 Republican and Democratic cosponsors
reflects the diversity and depth
of support from governors, mayors,
and a wide range of organizations
in all 50 states and the District
of Columbia, including park and
recreation associations, wildlife
associations, conservation and smart
growth groups, land trusts, the
recreation industry, realtors and
chambers of commerce, the youth
sports community, and garden clubs
for a permanent federal investment
to protect our nation’s parks, wildlife,
and natural heritage.
We
look forward to working with you
to advance CARA to the House Floor
for a vote before the Easter recess.
With
the large number of cosponsors it
is clear the majority of the House
understands the importance of this
landmark legislation. We urge you
to help CARA reach a floor vote
as soon as possible; an early vote
is needed to help H.R. 701 continue
it’s momentum and become law.
Please urge House leadership to
recognize the will of the majority
and bring H.R. 701 to a vote.
Our organization looks forward to
working with you on the successful
passage of CARA to provide much-needed,
reliable funding for parks and wildlife.
Again, thank you for your co-sponsorship.
Sincerely,
Name
