This link shows the Senate sponsors as of 2/14/06 http://capwiz.com/arthritis/issues/bills/?bill=8467126, then click on the SHOW SPONSORSHIP at the bottom right. If you go to the http://capwiz.com/arthritis/issues/bills you can also see the entire list of who has and who has not sponsored the bill, so you know who to target in your state and district.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Connie, I am sorry I did not meet you at the Summit. Its a wonderful opportunity and I urge everyone (and I mean everyone) to get involved. I have such problems trying to reach my local house member. She simply will not sign so I will keep on trying. I figure eventually she will get tired of me and sign. I also took it upon myself to visit congressmen who are not in my district and lucked out. One did co-sponsor!! So maybe I should stick with those outside of my district. lol. To everyone who did make the Summit as a 36 yr vet to this crap, I send a huge thank you.....We can make a difference!

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 , have you visited the local offices of these congressmen? I urge you to try this as well. They will be on break March 20-24 (I think, someone correct me if this is wrong) so call and schedule a visit. Take others with you and let your voices be heard.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 There are two Massachusetts Representatives who have not signed on as co-sponsors of the Arthritis Prevention, Control and Cure Act. I urge anyone who is a constituent of Representative Capuano or Representative Delahunt to email them (using the links below), or call them and ask them to co-sponsor this bill that is vital legislation for all our children with arthritis. I visited their offices with my 15 year old daughter when we were in Washington last week at the Advocacy Summit, but we are not their constituents and they don't pay as much attention to people not from their districts. Thanks and thanks to you Donna for the links.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Thanks Donna, I will do some checking and do that. I felt like I was at a dead end. It really makes me mad that they aren't supporting it. If it was affecting them or their families it would have been done a long time ago without a second thought.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Good for you for trying Donna! The more people we talk to the more the words juvenile arthritis stick in their heads. We have to get the word out. The Summit was a powerful experience and I look forward to next year. ajaoky@... wrote: Connie, I am sorry I did not meet you at the Summit.
