Done! I thanked them both and let them know about the congressional briefing.

Any more I can do?

Everyone Read Kate's Blog And See Why It Is Soon Important To Call.

Momo3 I Should Have Picked Up That Both Of Your Senators Are Cosponsors.

I Am About To Call Senator Mccain's Office. He Told A Group Of Us In 2005 That He Support The Crpa Bill. He Need To Be A Cosponsor.

[SCI-Nurse]

Anyone who can call, should- even if it's tomorrow or the next day. Let your voice be heard. That is the only way some of this legislation gets passed - or even considered.
