We now have 189 Representatives cosponsoring our House bill, HR 1608, and 11 Senators cosponsoring our recently introduced Senate companion bill, S 2373. Click here for the House list, and click here for the Senate list.
The more cosponsors we have the greater our chances of getting the Lymphedema Treatment Act passed THIS YEAR! If your Representative and both of your Senators are not yet on these lists then please write and call again. The links to all our advocacy tools that make it easy for you to take action are under the How You Can Help menu along the left hand side of our website.
Our 2016 Lymphedema Lobby Days are April 18th-20th in Washington, DC. The deadline to register is April 4th, but the sooner we know who will be attending the better. We need to begin working on the meeting schedule in mid-March. For complete information, and the links to register and book your hotel room, please visit the Lobby Days page of our website.
Do you want to work with others to increase support for the LTA, but can’t come to DC? Join your State Team! We have teams in all 50 states. There is no travel or minimum time commitment required. More information and the link to join can be found on our State Teams page.
Together, we can pass the Lymphedema Treatment Act!
