If there is any chance that more than 1 senator has the same last name as another senator, or you are unsure of the spelling of their last name, click on The Senate link at the beginning of this paragraph and locate their URL. 

Remove the ~ from their URL address and rearrange as noted: 
1.  Drop the http://www from the URL address.
2.  Move the senator's name (less the tilde ( ~ )) to the left-most position.
3.  Place the at sign ( @ ) in front of this.
You should have @lastname.senate.gov

As an example, let's use Phil Gramm (R) Texas: http://www.senate.gov/~gramm/
Using the steps above we get: 
1.  .senate.gov
2.  gramm.senate.gov
3.  @gramm.senate.gov

This gives you the base address, @gramm.senate.gov.  That means anything sent to @gramm.senate.gov will reach the senator's email "reception area".  Senators normally use either their first and last name (separated by an underscore ( _ ) or the word Senator_ followed by their last name. 

From the example above: first/last name yields phil_gramm@gramm.senate.gov or senator_gramm@gramm.senate.gov

Remember, email addresses and NOT case-sensitive.

If you really want to be sure, send a request for the exact/proper email address of the senator to webmaster@lgramm.senate.gov, replacing your senator's name for gramm.

Sample Letters

At a loss for words? Not sure what to tell the President or your Congressman? Well, here are three examples that you can use in their entirety (just copy and paste), or use parts of them to construct your own letter.  You can add the email addresses to sites pertaining to an MIA/POW so they will be aware that not just one person is interest.  Every letter sent MUST be replied to... if they send you an obviuos form letter, return the letter with a note informing them that you expect a real answer to this specific case.  Please encourage your friends and Family to participate as well.  Thank You Lee and John Hiller

Example for the MIA's mentioned in this site:

Dear Senator ________, 

What is being done to determine the fate of Jim Ray Cavender W1/US Army, Terry Lanier Alford W1/US Army, James Robert Klimo -E4/US Army and John Allen Ware -E4/US Army, who were all returning to his base at Nha Trang from Duc Lap at about 1920 hours when he made his last known radio contact with the 48th Aviation Company Operations at Ninh Hoa. Either the pilot or aircraft commander gave his approximate location as Duc My Pass, and stated he was in the clouds and instrument meteorological conditions (IMC). Shortly afterwards, the controller at Ninh Hoa heard a radio transmission that WO1 Alford was in trouble.  The pilot reported, inexplicably, that the helicopter was flying upside down. There is no evidence that he was killed and he is known to have been capable of surviving under harsh conditions. Please advise me of any action that is being taken by you or any other elected appointed official to determine his fate.

In the event there is nothing being done, please explain why not, and tell me how you personally plan to correct this and prevent it from ever happening again.  Your attention to this will be expected in a timely fashion.

Generic Example #1:
Dear Sir, 
I am attaching the pertinent information on Col Harold Kahler, of Lincoln, Nebraska. Col Kahler has been missing in action since 1969!! We want to make you aware that his family, his friends, and myself, one among many to take up the Cause, find this an outrage, and completely unacceptable. I demand that you take a bit of time to look into this matter--to help us find the Col, and if not to return him safely to his family, then to put this issue to rest once and for all. It is appalling to think you have given up on a human life. An American human life! One who bravely and selflessly fought for YOUR freedom.

I shall tiredlessly continue to inquire in his behalf until my questions have been satisfied."

Generic Example #2:

Dear Sir, 
What is being done to determine the fate of Col Harold Kahler, USAF, who was last seen over Sam Neua, Laos, June 14, 1969?

This is an American pilot who has remained on the MIA list for 28 years. Doesn't his devotion to his country award him the priviledge and honor of being buried in his own homeland soil if he is in fact deceased? Should, by any miracle, Kahler remain alive, should he be left behind in a foreign country knowing his country abandoned him? Do his family and loved ones not deserve to know the fate of their son, brother, friend and loved one nor be allowed to put a closure to this after so many years?

Please advise me of any action that is being taken by you or any other elected or appointed official to determine his fate. In the event there is nothing being done, please explain why not, and tell me how you personally plan to correct this and prevent it from ever happening again."
