There are two important actions you can take NOW to help get The SHIELD Act (H.R. 668) passed.

  1. Send a personal message to your own representatives in Congress. Visit www.GuardTheGrid.com now. It only takes about 2 minutes, because we've written the message for you, and all you have to do is provide your basic info.

  2. After you send your own representatives in Congress a message, you can use the info we've posted on the Volunteer Resources page to call other representatives in Congress and ask for their support of this important legislation and get involved with the EMP cause.

There isn't much time to act. To get this bill signed into law, the House needs to pass H.R. 668 so that the Senate can take it from there. Act now. You really can make a difference. We've been told by several Representatives that a couple dozen messages on an issue lets them know how important it is.

Tell Your Friends, Family and Neighbors About The SHIELD Act

02-May-11

We spoke with one Congressman who told us that when he gets a couple dozen messages on a single issue, “it is like an avalanche” compared to his normal volume of mail. We’ve heard from other Representatives who have said that they need to hear from their constituents in order to know what really matters to Americans. We need your help to let more people know about EMP and give them the information and the tools they need to send an avalanche of messages to Congress.

While we don’t want anyone to miss any of the important information we’ve put on our web site, we do have two shortcut-style web addresses that you can give to friends and family that will help them find two important parts of our site: www.GuardTheGrid.com takes visitors directly to the page where they can use our online tool to send their representatives messages about the SHIELD Act; and the mini-site you’re reading now can be reached directly using the web address www.ShieldAct.com.

ACTION ITEM: You can easily share these new web addresses, because they are easy to spell, say, and remember. Please use www.GuardTheGrid.com and www.ShieldAct.com in your conversations and email messages with your friends, family, neighbors, and other people you want to educate about this important legislation.

EMP Caucus – on EMPact Radio

The EMP Caucus launch took place on February 15th, 2011, in the U.S Capital Visitor’s Center. In this special episode of EMPact Radio, you’ll be able to listen to the official launch and the statements made by sponsoring members of Congress, as well as EMPact America’s President (and the host of the Dr. Peter Vincent Pry Show), Dr. Peter Vincent Pry.

You’ll also hear Congressman Trent Franks official announcement of the SHIELD Act, HR 668, the new and improved version of the GRID Act that unanimously passed in the House and came agonizingly close to being passed in the Senate last year – and, EMPact Radio’s co-host Ross Howarth will explain how you can use the tools on EMPact America’s website to send messages to your Congressman and your Senator in support of the Shield Act, so that we can get it through committee and passed as soon as possible.
