Do you have two minutes and an internet connection to use for the world's poor this Independence Day? What better way to celebrate our independence and political freedom than exercising some of that freedom for our brothers and sisters in need across the globe?The Jubilee Act was passed by the House and just passed by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on June 24. The Jubilee Act has bipartisan support and would expand debt cancellation for 24 additional impoverished countries. The full Senate will vote on this legislation in the next 1-2 weeks. Visit the Legislative Alert Center and take two minutes to contact your Senator now.
If you'd like more background on the issue, visit the US Bishops Conference website.

Done! Thanks for posting this and letting us know what we can do to help. Oh and I used your favorite verse in my letter -- Micah 6:8 -- to tell my senator to do justice and show mercy. ;-)
