(date) Dear Senator (first name then last name), My name is (first name then last name) and as your constituent, I am kindly asking for your support of Senate Bill S.2412 or better known as the CARI Act. S.2412 - Cambodia Accountability and Return on Investment Act of 2018 was introduced on 2/8/2018 by Sen. Graham, Lindsey [R-SC], Sen. Durbin, Richard J. [D-IL], Sen. Cruz, Ted [R-TX], Sen. Cardin, Benjamin L. [D-MD], and Sen. Leahy, Patrick J. [D-VT] to support the successful implementation of the 1991 Paris Peace Agreement in Cambodia, and for other purposes. Senator, I may no longer have the legal right to cast votes in Cambodian elections due to my residency and citizenship here, but it will never mean that I have abandoned the Khmer people's struggle for the same rights, liberties and freedoms we enjoy here in America. Prime Minister Hun Sen has been in power three more decades than many Killing Fields survivors and a new generation of Khmers would prefer. As a I have the obligation and most importantly choose to support their struggles. I am no longer interested in seeing my tax contributions flowing straight into the Hun Sen regime's coffers with the lack of a responsible policy towards Cambodia. Therefore, I would very much like to see S.2412 make it through committee and pass through the Senate Floor. I am asking you to join your noble colleagues on my behalf and sponsor S. 2412 so that we may help Cambodia and the Khmer people move towards a true democratic society. Respectfully, (Your name) (Street Address) (City, State, Zip Code) Phone: Email:
