This is the last week Congress is in session until September 6th! Cosponsors cannot be officially added while Congress is in recess, so we want to make a push to get as many more offices signed on this week as possible!
Please take a few minutes to leave a phone message at any of your congressional offices not yet on board, asking them to sign on this week. Remember, we need both of your Senators and your Representative cosponsoring the LTA.
Everything you need is below, or use our Phone Action Alert!
Numbers to call: Senate phone list, House phone list.
Current cosponsors: Senate list, House list.
Talking Points:
Identify yourself as a constituent.
- Say you are calling to ask for your Senator’s/Representative’s support of the Lymphedema Treatment Act.
- Give the appropriate bill number and cosponsors to date – S. 2373 and 21 cosponsors for the Senate, H.R. 1608 and 237 cosponsors for the House.
- Very briefly state why this bill is important to you.
- Conclude by saying you hope he or she will sign on as a cosponsor THIS WEEK, before departing for recess.
Your voice matters! Please make your calls today!
