Hello, [representative’s name]! My name is [name], and I live in [city name].

I’m contacting you as a concerned constituent of your district to urge you to support funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program or ACP before it runs out in just two weeks. 

Internet access is so important in our digital world and one in six US households use this subsidy to connect. This is a very popular and bipartisan program, but if Congress doesn’t fund it soon, millions of Americans on tight budgets could lose that affordable access. We can’t let that happen.

Time is running out. Please find a funding vehicle to extend the ACP. Thank you for your attention to this issue.
