Congressman Dave Reichert (WA-08) has been the champion of the LTA for many years. At last week’s Ways and Means Committee hearing with Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, he used his allotted time to speak about the LTA.
This clip of Congressman Reichert’s powerful statement is a must-watch video. I was moved to tears seeing Secretary Azar nodding in agreement as Congressman Reichert spoke.
If all three of your members of Congress – two Senators and one House member – are not cosponsoring the LTA yet, please call them again this week. Most offices are open until 6:00pm EST, and many have after hours voice mail.

Phone numbers and call scripts for House members.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease, so don’t be shy about calling! And for any member who is already a cosponsor, it’s great to call to say thank you. Senate cosponsors can be seen here, and House cosponsors here.
