Please Email Congress Today – The Window is Closing

March 26th, 2009

There are two days left to get your email in to Congress (that is, today and tomorrow) requesting that they sign off on language that directs the National Institutes of Health to fully fund research on Migraine and Headache disorders.  You don’t even have to think up your own email, or find your Representative’s contact information (or know who your Representative is) – all you have to do is click here for the Alliance for Headache Disorders Advocacy’s action page.  There you can send your email in less than three minutes and a few clicks.  If you haven’t done it already, please do it now.  It will mean better treatment options for all of us.  It will mean more understanding of our disease, and more options in our future.  And if we don’t get enough signatures now, it will mean another year of delay, without basic research being done.  Please take a few minutes out to help.  I took three days out to go to D.C. on this effort.  You can take three minutes without leaving your chair.  Thanks!

The Time is Now to Write your Congressman/woman for More Migraine Funding

March 2nd, 2009

If you read my post about Headache on the Hill last week (or even if you didn’t but you’re keeping current in the world of Migraine advocacy) you know that there is currently a letter on Members of the US House of Representatives desks, asking them to direct the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to spend a fair share of their budget on Migraine and headache disorders research.

You can make a difference, it’s easy, and the time is NOW.  Use this link to go to the Alliance for Headache Disorders Advocacy (AHDA) and take action.  There is a letter already prepared to go to your representative – you can add your own text to it, and when you fill in your address, the form will automatically determine who your representative is and direct it to the correct congressional office.  Easy as pie.  It will literally take you 2-3 minutes, and the more of us they hear form, the better chance we have of succeeding.  A sentence or two of your own experience as a Migraine sufferer will help them understand why this is so important!

Please take a couple of minutes to make a difference for all of us!
