Dear Mary,
With your help, we’ve nearly hit our goal of 100,000 petition signatures. When we deliver them to Congress on September 21, World Alzheimer’s Day, we will send a strong message to Capitol Hill that the time has come for Alzheimer's disease to become a national priority. However, with less than 3 weeks to go until Congress adjourns for the year, we need to make our voices heard NOW.
The National Alzheimer’s Project Act (NAPA) has momentum - but we need your help to get it to a vote. Please take a moment to call one of your senators by Thursday, September 16 and urge them to support NAPA.
What: Call on your senator to make Alzheimer’s disease a priority by voting YES on S. 3036, the National Alzheimer’s Project Act.
Call our toll free line: 800-687-3813
When: September 14-15, from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm EST
Tell your senator:
Please work with your colleagues to pass the National Alzheimer’s
Project Act (S. 3036) before the end of this session of Congress.
NAPA will create a nationwide strategy to overcome Alzheimer’s disease.
NAPA is a non-controversial, no-cost bill to combat Alzheimer’s disease. It will maximize all federal efforts, including federally funded research, care, and services.
I ask that you please work with your colleagues to enact the National Alzheimer’s Project Act (S. 3036) by moving it through committee and to the Senate floor for passage before Congress adjourns this year.
Background
Alzheimer’s disease is the public health crisis of the 21st century. One in eight baby boomers will soon reach the age of greatest risk for Alzheimer’s and 10 million American baby boomers will develop Alzheimer’s.
Yet there is no national plan on how to deal with this looming crisis, and NAPA will create this vital plan.
Thank you for your help. Together, we can reach our goal of a world without Alzheimer’s.
Sincerely,
Robert Egge
