Welcome to FMA’s center for legislative resources and grassroots action. Your activities here are what make FMA an effective voice on Capitol Hill. Every time you send an action letter, call your Members of Congress or contribute to the FMA Political Action Committee (PAC), you increase the ability of FMA to be an even more influential organization.

Advocacy is the backbone of our Association and enables us to act on behalf of issues affecting both our agencies and those of our fellow members.
This center is TEAM FMA in action!

Please view our recent legislative accomplishments, testimony, issue briefs, and letters from National President Perkinson to Administration and elected officials.

Then take a moment to send Action Letters to your Representative and Senators. Your grassroots support as FMA members – and constituents – is the key to our success in Washington, DC. We need your voice in order to make our collective voice heard loud and clear by our elected leaders.
