The Honorable Amy Klobuchar [This legislator is used just as an example for formatting.]
302 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington DC 20510-2305

Dear Senator Klobuchar:

Subject: Please Oppose the Prevention First Act (S. 21/H.R. 463)

Hello. My name is (First Name, Last Name). I am writing to ask you to oppose the Prevention First Act.

The Prevention First Act would force all federally funded hospitals to dispense the morning after pill, an abortifacient. This would greatly affect Catholic hospitals because of moral opposition to the morning after pill except when, in the case of rape, thorough tests reveal that fertilization has not already taken place.

Also, this act would send millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider. Don't you think that they already get enough money from the government? I do. I hate to see an organization that promotes the murder of unborn children get any federal or state dollars.

I know a lot of other people who are opposed to the Prevention First Act. Please vote against this bill.

Thank you for your consideration of my position on this important issue.

I would appreciate a response to my letter.

Sincerely,

[Signature]
Jane Doe
