ACTION ALERT: Monday is the Deadline for Your Senators to be “Original Cosponsors”

by Heather on April 16, 2021

If you haven’t called your two Senators yet this week, or if you have, but they still aren’t marked as Original Cosponsors on the list below, please call them today!

Being an Original Cosponsor means they will be listed on the bill when it is reintroduced next week. Although Senators will still be able to join as regular cosponsors after the bill is reintroduced, being an Original Cosponsor carries more weight.

Please call your two Senators as soon as possible and urge them to 
sign on as Original Cosponsors of the Lymphedema Treatment Act, 
or thank them if they have already decided to! 

Most offices have after hours voicemail, so you can even call tonight or over the weekend if you are unable to call during business hours. Our bill sponsors have set a deadline of Monday for Original Cosponsors to join, so we only have a few more days to gather as many as possible.

Call Script:

“I’m a constituent calling about the Lymphedema Treatment Act. This bill will be reintroduced next week by Senators Cantwell and Grassley. I hope that Senator [name]will be an original cosponsor of this bill, which is critically important to the millions of American’s who suffer from this chronic condition. Will you please pass on my message to your Health Legislative Aide?” [Add why this is important to you if you wish.]
