5th Annual Virtual Lobby Day Begins Now!

Advocacy Alert: 5/5/2008

5th Annual Virtual Lobby Day Begins Now!

Join with thousands of advocates taking action to build a stronger federal response to CFS through the CFIDS Association of America's 5th Annual Lobby Day. Five easy-to-complete activities are now available at http://capwiz.com/cfids/home/.

In 30 minutes or less, you can write to your two U.S. senators (Action Item #1), the Secretary of Health (Action Item #2), your representative in the House of Representatives (Action Item #3), CDC Director Dr. Julie Gerberding and NIH Director Dr. Elias Zerhouni (Action Item #4) and your local media (Action Item #5). Reminder messages will be sent daily for each of the five tasks; keep your inbox clear by doing them all now! (We'll remove your name from e-mail list for the reminders for each of the tasks you complete.)

Last year, more than 6,000 messages were sent by Virtual Lobby Day participants. Working together, we can greatly exceed that count and demonstrate even more support to legislators, policymakers and the media for increased attention to CFS.

Use the "Tell-A-Friend" feature available on every message to spread the word about this event. There is power in numbers. Let's flex our advocacy muscle!

Thank you for participating in CFIDS advocacy!
