Letters to the White House

Letter Campaign To the White House
March 15, 2010-May 1st 2010.

The White House receives thousands and thousands of emails and letters each day. So that our voices are heard, we will place all of our letters in one spot for President Omaba to read. I will reference this website link to the White House staff. Click here to write your letter.

Ask your family, parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, cousins, friends, neighbors, or co-workers to voice their support in our efforts for a Presidential National Stepfamily Day Proclamation. Post this link on Websites, Blogs, Emails, Twitter, Facebook or any other social network.

“Never giving up and pushing forward will unlock all the potential we are capable of”

Thank you for your support.
