National Call-in Day June 23, 2010

Posted by FairSentencing in : Current News , trackback

If you haven’t made your call as part of the national call-in day for S, 714, the National Criminal Justice Commission Act, the only person you need to call is Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), (202) 224-3135.

Why? Because Majority Leader Reid and Senator Durbin heard FAMM members loud and clear! We’ve heard that they got the message and know you support S. 714, the National Criminal Justice Commission Act. Way to go! If you have already made your calls, thank you!

Again, if you haven’t made any calls yet, the only person you need to call is Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), (202) 224-3135.

MESSAGE:

I am calling to ask the Senator to cosponsor and support immediate Senate passage of S. 714, the National Criminal Justice Commission Act, because:

* Thousands of offenders receive lengthy mandatory terms in federal prison. These sentences have driven an increase in incarceration, stretching our prisons beyond their limits.
* The current incarceration rate comes at a high cost to taxpayers, families and communities.
* The proposed commission would review the criminal justice system, identify programs and policies that promote public safety, and urge reform of policies and practices that aren’t working.
* The result will be a more effective and just criminal justice system.
* Thank you!
