It's Not Too Late for Virtual Lobby Day!

Advocacy Alert: 5/16/2008

It's Not Too Late for Virtual Lobby Day!

The CFIDS Association of America's 5th Annual Lobby Day is still under way!

Five easy-to-complete activities are available at http://capwiz.com/cfids/home/. In the past 12 days, advocates have sent 3,487 messages to legislators, policymakers and the media about the need for increased funding for and attention to CFS.

In 20 minutes or less, you can write to the two U.S. Senators who represent you (Action #1), the Secretary for Health (Action #2), CDC Director Dr. Julie Gerberding and NIH Director Dr. Elias Zerhouni (Action #3), the member of the House of Representatives representing your local community (Action #4) and your local media (Action #5). Using our pre-written letter templates, it's easy!

There is power in numbers. Let's flex our advocacy muscle!

Thank you for participating in CFIDS advocacy!
