ASA's Federal Quarterly Newsletter
The first edition of this publication was developed December of 2006 with a broader audience in mind. ASA is asking our supporters to print this newsletter at home and distribute it in their community. We also had ASA’s Congressional Outreach Program in mind when developing this newsletter. Our national office distributes the newsletter on Capitol Hill, and we encourage our supporters to use this publication as a reason to reach out to their Congressional and Senate district offices on a regular basis.
To receive this quarterly newsletter, please send a blank email to asa-policy-subscribe@lists.safeaccessnow.org.
