Dear Families and Friends,
School’s out and summer is officially here – time for rest, relaxation and fun in the sun!
But, we still have a lot of work to do for the SMA Treatment Acceleration Act!
After securing 100 cosponsors in the House, well-surpassing our final total from the 110th Congress of 85 cosponsors, it’s time to ramp up grassroots efforts and work towards our new goal: 150 cosponsors!
Be sure to check THOMAS periodically to see if your Members of Congress have signed on as cosponsors. Once they have, be sure to send them a message thanking them for their support!
If your Members have not signed on, here are some ways to make a difference:
- Visit www.PetitionToCureSMA.com and sign your name. Forward the site to friends, family and coworkers, and encourage them to sign in support, too!
- Reach out to your Members of Congress via email, fax, phone and let them know you’d like them to support the SMA Treatment Acceleration Act.
- Schedule a meeting in your Members’ district offices during the summer recesses (you can find the 2010 Calendar HERE).
If you need any guidance or help, FightSMA is here as a resource for you. Please do not hesitate to contact Caroline Gibson, Public Affairs Coordinator, at 804-515-0080 or carolinegibson@fightsma.com.
Thank you for all you are doing to help fight SMA!
