FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

[United States Congress]
 
WASHINGTON, D.C.—FALEOMAVAEGA WANTS YOUR OPINION
 
Congressman Faleomavaega has sent an opinion survey to every mailing address in American Samoa asking residents for their opinions on a variety of issues.

“In an effort to give the public a greater voice in the affairs of government, I have sent a survey to every resident with a mailing address in American Samoa,” said Faleomavaega.  “This is the first time such a survey has been conducted in the Territory, and I am looking forward to receiving your input on what I believe are very important issues affecting the future of American Samoa.”

“I want to hear your thoughts on topics such as economic development, federal court jurisdiction in the territory, whether U.S immigration laws should be made applicable to our territory, and whether we should change the law so our military service members will have a better opportunity to participate in our local elections.”

“I will also be conducting a series of radio “call-in” shows over the next few months so I sincerely hope that you will be thinking about what we can do to improve our economy and preserve our way of life,” Congressman Faleomavaega said.

Congressman Faleomavaega also noted that additional copies of the survey are available at his Utulei and Washington DC offices.  The surveys are in Samoan and English. 

“Anyone wishing to complete a survey and who did not receive one can call either of my offices and one will be mailed to you,” Congressman Faleomavaega said.  “Completed survey forms should be mailed in or delivered to my Utulei office.”

“I want to thank you for taking part in this historic survey,” Congressman Faleomavaega said.  “I am looking forward to hearing from you and will continue to work tirelessly in your behalf.”
