Saluting The Silent Patriots

We at National Write Your Congressman were proud to be a part of showing our gratitude to all the silent patriots in Washington.  Below is the thank you we participated in on Sept. 12, 2011 in the Roll Call.

"A Tribute To Congressonal Staff"

They toil under the dome.  Young, idealistic and dedicated to their bosses, their district, their state, their country.  They answer the mail, creat the schedules, tally the votes, write the press releases and manage the offices.  They are "staffers".

A decade ago their dedication to public service put them in harm's way.  Despite the continued threat, the grueling hours, the countless callers, the minimal pay...they serve our Congress and America.

On the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the Congressional Management Foundation and our supporters recognize and honor the sacrifice and contribution of all silent patriots who serve under the dome.

We thank the staff of the United States Congress.
