Action Alert!

What: call your senator today and ask him/her to support Alzheimer’s priorities in the final version of the Appropriations bill.

Switchboard: 1-800-687-3813

When: Today - Action expected at any time!

Congress will soon make final decisions on funding for Alzheimer research and public health programs.

Your Member of Congress is uniquely suited to help advance our cause.

Please call your Senator Today! They each have an 800 number!

Ask  them to require that 50% of Federal research funds on Alzheimer’s be spent on solving the psycho-social problems the disease creates in and between family members.

Ask  them to assure you this bill will not be just a care giver’s bill, but also contain provisions to directly support the personal needs of people living with dementia

Ask them to support research in ALL forms of dementia, not just Alzheimer’s Disease.

Ask them to support Alzheimer’s priorities as she/he considers the final version of the Fiscal Year 2010 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education (Labor-H) Appropriations bill.

An estimated 5.2 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer’s disease, including as many as 500,000 who are under age 65. Baby boomers (you and your Senators are probably members of this group!) face a future with AD, bringing the total number of AD patients to 14 million by 2050.

Make sure they know why you personally care about Alzheimer’s issues. Tell them you consider it a moral imperative that they personally join your crusade to change the way our culture defines and treats people with dementia.

Your call can be a difference maker with your call.

Your Senators can be  difference makers with their votes.

We can, we must introduce change today to create better tomorrows!
