The most important thing you can do is to contact your own Representative and Senators.  You can find out who they are and their contact information by going to www.congress.org and entering your zip code in the box on the left-hand side of the page.

Beyond your own elected officials, there are key people that everyone -- regardless of where they live -- can contact to protest against NAIS.  The chairs of the committees have immense power over what is and is not heard, and the ranking minority member can also wield a lot of influence.  Below is information on the Congressional Committees that are the most likely to impact NAIS:
