Dear xxxxxxx:

Thank you for contacting Governor Charlie Crist.  The Governor appreciates your concerns about U.S. immigration policy and asked me to respond on his behalf.

Governor Crist wants to know how people feel about the many critical issues we face.  Because Governor Crist's ability to intervene in federal matters is limited, your best source of assistance is your congressional delegation, comprised of United States Senators Bill Nelson and Mel Martinez and your local congressional representative.

You can find contact information for your representative at www.congress.org.  The Senators may be contacted at the following addresses and phone numbers:

The Honorable Bill Nelson The

Honorable Mel Martinez

Landmark Center Two Landmark

Center One

225 East Robinson Street, Suite 410 315 East Robinson Street, Suite 475 Orlando, Florida 32801 Orlando, Florida 32801

(888) 671-4091 (407)

254-2573

You have the opportunity to influence state legislation regarding immigration by contacting your local legislative delegation.  You may wish to write to your senator or representative.  The Division of Legislative Information Services is a helpful resource for information on legislation.  That office can be contacted in writing at 111 West Madison Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1400 or by calling toll-free

(800) 342-1827.  Those with internet access can find contact information for their legislators and track bills as they proceed through the legislative process at www.leg.state.fl.us.

To assist you with your questions about the Governor's "Accelerate Florida" initiative, I forwarded your comments to the Governor's Office of Tourism, trade and Economic Development.

Thank you again for contacting the Governor's office.  Please do not hesitate to write again to share your concerns and ideas about issues that are important to you.

Sincerely,

Warren Davis
