Filipino Veterans Equity Act
Posted at 12:24 am under General, Issues
Hey guys… Adam Luce (FSA Executive VP from 2006-2007 and Culture Chair 2004-2006) wants to forward this letter from the alumni email to all FSAers regarding Filipino WWII veterans and their benefits… be sure to take a look!
To all FilAms:
You all know that the US Senate voted Yes to S.1315 that included the benefits for our Filipino WWII veterans in the bill on April 24. The vote was 96-1 with Senator Vitter (R-LA) voting NO and Senators DeMint (R-SC), McCain (R-AZ) and Obama (D-IL) NOT VOTING. Both Senate and the House approval are needed. The battleground shifts to the US House of Representatives. The US House of Representatives must now pass HR760 - The Filipino Veterans Equity Act of 2007.
I know many of you have never called a politician or anything like that in your life, but you must have an Internet connection to receive this message. IF YOU HAVE NOT CALLED OR FAX, YOU SHOULD EMAIL YOUR US REPRESENTATIVE NOW.
IF YOU HESITATE TO SPEAK TO THEM, EMAIL THEM. Just follow the following steps to send an email message directly to your Congressperson.
Print this page as a guide or copy it in a piece of paper. Each step below is detailed but really easy.
- Open your web browser and go to http://www3.capwiz.com/c-span/dbq/officials/
- Enter your zip code and click on GO. You will go to a new page with the list of your elected officials.
- On the bottom of the leftmost column, click on the name of your US Representative.
- You will go to a new page with your Representative’s photo and contact information. Click on SEND MESSAGE in blue under the photo.
- You will go to a new page where you will type in and send your message.
- In the subject box, enter: COSPONSOR AND SUPPORT HR760 - FILIPINO VETERANS EQUITY ACT.
- Click on the right arrow on the Issue Area and select VETERANS AFFAIRS in the very end of the list
- In the message box, enter: I AM A VOTER FROM (your home town/city), (your home state). I ASK THAT YOU COSPONSOR AND SUPPORT HR760 - FILIPINO VETERANS EQUITY ACT. (Note: change the message if you want to).
- Type in your name in the Name box.
- Complete Part 2 with your contact information. This is important. It will show to the US Representative that you are indeed from his voting district.
- Make sure the REMEMBER ME box is checked.
- Click the SEND MESSAGE in blue in the bottom. You will get an acknowledgment page that your message has been sent.
- When you have sent your message, help each of your family and friends of voting age to do the same thing.
- Add the web page to your list of FAVORITES so you can use it for follow-up messages later.
That is it. DO IT RIGHT NOW!

Throwback Party!
Posted at 11:46 am under General
One last time…
You’ve worked hard all semester. Classes are over… Come celebrate with us… Many of the FSAers that came to the first two house parties already know what it is… Some say they were the greatest parties of their college career (no joke)… I just finished grad school and will finally be leaving Gvillle, so we’re doing it one last time.
So same as last time:
Back in the day, we used to have house parties just like ya’ll do now. The only difference was that they weren’t just parties…they were EVENTS.
Inspired by FSA Alumni weekend and the classic movie, “House Party,” you are cordially invited to THROWBACK: The House Party…PART 3!!!!!!
