Subject: Pass Mulitple Peril Insurance Bill

Dear Representative _________________,

My name is ________________, and I’m a registered voter in your district. I am writing to talk about the insurance reform bill—H.R. 3121 formally known as the Flood Insurance Reform and Modernization Act of 2007.

Specifically, I wish to express my support for the expansion to cover wind damage. This bill will expand the National Flood Insurance Program to include all natural perils such as wind, and it would be financed in a way that pays for itself. The bill is fiscally responsible, and therefore it would comply with the new House rules.

This bill will protect America’s families and businesses. Most importantly, it will protect MY family. The insurance industry has betrayed America’s families and businesses. It is time to step in and protect us from the ravages of an industry run amok with greed.

I hope that I can count on your support for this important piece of legislation. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Your name
Your address
Your email
Your phone number

Everyone appreciates good manners. Besides, we get a whole lot more with a bit of honey than we will with a jar of vinegar . . . at this point, that is. ;)
