IMPORTANT CALL YOUR CONGRESS PEOPLE

We're coming into the final stretch, and we expect that in the next week or so we will start seeing actual legislative proposals for health care reform.

After a brief recess for Memorial Day, Congress is returning this/next week for what will be a grueling month of legislative activity. As we must keep the pressure on them, AFA is participating in another Congressional Call-In Day on Thursday, June 4.

On Thursday, June 4 beginning at 9 a.m. Eastern, please call toll-free to (866) 281-7219. The system will ask you to say your state name and then transfer you to one of your Senators. When you get through, tell your Senator that inclusion of long-term services and supports in health reform is a must for individuals facing dementia, their caregivers and families.

We hope you will forward this email to others. Please note: phone lines are open only on Thursday June 4 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern time.
