Yes, Judy and Jan, This is an important time to give to ADAPAC See this

message from Marty Yadrick MS MBA RD FADA, ADA President To all American

Dietetic Association Members:

It is no understatement to say the next 100 days may determine the future of the

dietetics profession.

Right now, Congress is working with President-elect Obama's team to draft major

health-care reform legislation. We all wonder: " How will this new law affect me

and other members of ADA? "

While no one can say with certainly how it will affect all members, we do know

it will affect you. The new bill could strengthen the role of nutrition in

future health care ... and it might pose challenges to the way we do things as

registered dietitians.

ADA is not taking any chances. We want policies that focus more on good

nutrition and chronic disease prevention. We need to ensure registered

dietitians are part of the health-care teams and nutrition services are covered.

We are actively lobbying Congress to ensure the best possible outcome of this

debate for the public and the dietetics profession alike. On issues so critical

to you, your clients and all ADA members, we cannot afford to be left out of the

debate.

To be in the best position possible to make your voice heard, ADA needs a strong

political action committee.

ADA is among hundreds of groups asking Congress to make the new health-care

package conform to their needs. More than 120 of those groups have political

action committees. ADA's political action committee, ADAPAC, currently ranks in

the top 35 among them. That's a lower status than we need to engage in the kind

of conversations that will make health maintenance a higher priority.

The Congressional agenda in 2009 is daunting. Not only does it include

health-care reform, but aging, child nutrition, HIV/AIDS and food labeling are

also likely to be on the agenda. ADAPAC supports ADA's work in these areas too,

so making ADAPAC strong in the early months of 2009 is especially important. Now

is when we can establish ourselves as serious participants in the policy

dialogue.

We need your help! We need to grow ADAPAC!

To meet the challenges of 2009, the ADAPAC Board of Directors, with the support

of the ADA Legislative and Public Policy Committee has set the ambitious goal of

raising $100,000 in the first 100 days of the 111th Congress.

You can help by making your annual contribution to ADAPAC now. Your donation, no

matter how big or small, will support ADA's work on Capitol Hill by supporting

pro-nutrition candidates.

Go to the ADAPAC Web site at:

http://www.adapac.org and click on the donate button. Donations of $10 or $25 -

or of much greater amounts - will make a huge difference in what ADAPAC is able

to do.

With Congress poised to debate your future in health care, there isn't a better

investment you could make.

Change is happening. Be a part of the change!

M. Yadrick , MS, MBA, RD, FADA
