You have my most sincere appreciation for everything you have done to support the Lymphedema Treatment Act this year!
I know we are all even busier than usual during this season, but if you haven’t yet thanked Congressman Kissell and used our “smart” alert, I hope you can take a moment to complete each.
- Sunday, Dec 16th deadline…please thank Congressman Larry Kissell, our bill sponsor for the 111th and 112th Congress, for being the first member of Congress in history to introduce a bill to improve coverage for lymphedema treatment! Express your appreciation by adding your name to our thank you letter. (Click HEREto add your name.)
- Use our “smart” Action Alert to either thank your Representative if they cosponsored HR 2499 or express your disappointment if they did not. In either case you will be laying the groundwork for the 113th Congress by asking that they cosponsor the bill as soon as it is reintroduced next year. (Click HEREto send your letter.)
- With the Washington State team, who succeeded in securing Representative Reichert as our new sponsor for the 113th Congress, serving as a role model, we are now beginning the process of building similar teams in other states. If you are interesting in working with others in your state please respond to this email.
I wish you and your loved ones the happiest of holidays!
