Dear John,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
The basic purpose of American civic society institutions like NIAC is to enable ordinary people to make their voices heard in the face of the powerful special interests who dominate Washington.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
From our ongoing efforts to protect our community's civil rights from new "Alien Land Law" bills – including the Senate's recently passed Rounds Amendment – to our support for American diplomacy to free political prisoners unjustly detained in Iran, to our efforts to ensure food, medicine, and internet communication tools are not blocked by U.S. sanctions -- everything we advocate for is based on justice for ordinary people and speaking truth to power.      
This August, NIAC members like you are set to meet with Members of Congress nationwide.
