Here are a few suggestions as to how you can get started on helping out an MIA/POW. Remember, the longest journey starts with one step. I suggest the following action as the first step then go and Adopt an MIA?POW:

1. Everyone prepare a personal email to the President, Vice-President, First Lady, their Congressperson, both senators from your state, Secretary Albright and Ambassador Peterson.

2. Make it brief, referencing your first message. Add a paragraph about seeing his response to.

3. Advise him you consider the response totally unacceptable and you hope he will take you more seriously.

4. Restate your question about your MIA adding: "I've told you what I already know. Please tell me something I don't know."

5. Be polite, respectful, perhaps even marginally gratuitous, but above all be insistent.

6. If you have fax capability, follow up with a FAX. Make a personal call to your Congressional and Senate representatives.

Follow up with a Snail Mail. We have been generating a lot of Email out of OpJustCause....We now need to turn up the heat any way we can.

1. Dedicate a tree in your yard to your MIA. Mark it with a Yellow Ribbon. Encourage your neighbors to do the same.

2. Call your local newspapers when you get it underway and ask them to come out and see the Yellow Ribbons on your block.

3. Call the local radio DJ and ask to dedicate "Yellow Ribbon" to your MIA.

4. Ask your Legion, VFW, DAV, Marine Corps League, fraternity, Elks, Lions, Moose, Masons, Knights of Columbus to adopt an MIA and support OpJustCause.

5. Ask local businesses to put Yellow Ribbons in their storefronts. Just keep pushing...
