Dear Dr.
Robert:
Our efforts last month to urge members of
the US House of Representatives to support increases in NIH funding for research
on headache disorders were highly successful. Twelve Representatives signed the
Obey/Walsh letter. This is an outstanding result for the first mobilization of
our numbers, and we are optimistic that it will be enough to have our message
appended to the House appropriations bill.
It is now time to contact your US Senators
for the same purpose. Unfortunately our window of opportunity is only narrowly
open. The letter with Senators' signatures must be submitted by today, April
4th.
- Please take just 5 minutes RIGHT NOW to go
directly to http://capwiz.com/headacheadvocacy/issues/alert/?alertid=11231066&PROCESS=Take+Action
and send your message to your two US Senators
- Please forward this email right away to
anyone else concerned about the inadequate state of care for patients with
headache disorders.
Only with increased research will new
effective treatments for headache disorders become available. And only with your
help will such research activities increase to levels appropriate to the huge
scale of this problem. The larger our voice, the greater will be our
impact.
Thanks again for your efforts.
