Last fall I passed along a call by the General Society of Mayflower Descendants to ask our congressional representatives to co-sponsor legislation authorizing the U.S. Mint to strike a special Mayflower coin in 2020, the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims's landing. Bills were formally introduced on July 8th in the House and Senate so another email has gone out from the 2020 Committee asking us to write/email and urge cosponsorship of these specific bills. The Committee hopes for bipartisan support from states all over America.
The sponsor in the House is Bill Foster of Illinois, as HR 2980. In the Senate it's John Hoeven of North Dakota, S. 1715.

Below are sample letters the Committee wrote; you can personalize them for yourself and your state for the greatest impact. I will keep you posted when I hear more.
