Support HR 1940
Time is of the essence. We’re calling on you for crucial help in the cause of bringing abducted children home by calling, writing and visiting your congressman to ask him or her to co-sponsor H.R. 1940, the International Child Abduction Prevention and Return Act of 2011. Sponsorship and passage of this bill are the leverage we need to help us fight for our kids.
