In order to pass the Coin Act, we need 67 Senators and 290 Representatives to cosponsor this legislation. Our goal is to reach these numbers by September 2009, as only two coins are approved by Congress each year, and we have aggressive competition. We need your help today!

What Can You Do?

1. If your Representative and Senators have not yet cosponsored the legislation, send another email to remind them of your support. To determine who your Representative and Senators are click here.

2. We need your immediate assistance to spread the word to your friends, family and other Girl Scout supporters about the Commemorative Coin legislation. Encourage them to sign up at GirlScouts4girls.org TODAY.

Together, we can advocate for a Commemorative Coin that will be a lasting symbol of Girl Scouts' 100th Anniversary!
