Letter To The Editor

Also posted at A Republic, if you can keep it.

I wonder if the title my local paper gave my letter to the editor means someone on the editorial staff sees the importance of passing both S. 1942 and H.R. 3286 the Alzheimer's Breakthrough Act of 2009. If that is the case I'd count writing that letter as a battle won. The problem is one battle doesn't decide the outcome of any war. More letters to our elected officials urging them to support the Alzheimer's Breakthrough Act of 2009 are needed. If you haven't contacted your United States Senators and Representatives about this matter would you please do so now? If you have contacted your elected officials take the next step. A letter to the editor of your local paper will let the folks in your area know where you and your elected officials stand on this important issue. If someone develops Alzheimer's every seventy seconds I'm thinking just about all of us have been touched by this devastating disease. So getting public support for this legislation should be fairly easy.

God Bless America, God Save The Republic.

  2. Lisa,

    I hope you can get your elected officials to support S.1492 and H.R. 3286. Senator Bond (R-MO) was among the first to sign on. I still haven't heard from Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) or Congressman Sam Graves (R-MO). Maybe because this was a short week because of the holiday and the 911 anniversary.

    God Bless America, God Save The Republic.

    God Bless America-God Save The Republic.
