H.R. 1362 Challenge: 150 Cosponsors before August!

Ask your Representative to Cosponsor H.R. 1362!

Take Action!

Only 31 More Reps Needed to Reach our Goal!

Help PAN reach our goal of 150 cosponsors on H.R. 1362 before the Congressional recess begins in August! As of today, thanks to the hard work of Parkinson’s and MS advocates across the country, we have secured 119 cosponsors for H.R. 1362, the National MS and Parkinson’s Disease Registries Act.

By communicating with your Representative this week about the importance of this legislation, you can help us reach our goal of gaining 31 additional supporters before Representatives go home for the August recess this Friday! Meeting this advocacy challenge will express to House leadership that H.R. 1362 continues to gain support and we are not losing momentum. It is only with your advocacy that we will continue building support for a national Parkinson’s disease registry.

The National MS and Parkinson’s Disease Registries Act, supported by the Bicameral Congressional Caucus on Parkinson's Disease and the Congressional MS Caucus, would for the first time establish a national, coordinated system to collect and analyze data on multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson's disease, and other neurological diseases. If enacted by Congress, H.R. 1362 will create MS and Parkinson’s registries that will measure the incidence and prevalence of the diseases and pave the way for other neurological registries. It is our hope that these registries will facilitate research that may lead to discovery of breakthrough treatments, and one day a cure for Parkinson’s, MS, and other neurological diseases.

Help us reach our goal of 150 cosponsors before August recess begins on Friday! E-mail your Representative today and ask him/her to cosponsor H.R. 1362. Even if you have e-mailed your Representative about H.R. 1362 before, please e-mail again—our system will provide you with a cosponsorship e-mail or a thank you note based on your Representative’s support.

PAN makes this super easy to do by providing template letters that link directly to your Rep's e-mail. It takes 3 minutes!!!

Thanks so much- I've bookmarked their site.
