Please send this letter to any or all of them, it can be mailed or emailed or both. I am a constituent of ‘Your Federal State, State District, or Locality’, and as a voter I am concerned with Housing Affordability. I am in favor of you taking steps towards making housing more affordable.

I am in favor of you taking steps towards expanding protected Parental Leave. Concerns include: The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 not covering enough.
