Congress Wants to Hear from You!

You can make a positive difference today!
During the month of August, many Members of Congress return to their home districts and states for the district work period. Your Representative and Senators may be holding public town hall meetings or other public events during the month as they want and need to hear from you, their constituents. This is your chance to express your views on health care reform and to share the Arthritis Foundation's principles for health care reform. It is very important for Congress to understand why people with arthritis want health care reform.

I strongly encourage you to attend a town hall meeting in your area. Contact your local Arthritis Foundation Chapter and ask to speak with the staff person who handles advocacy. He/she will be able to give you more information about local town hall meetings, and can connect you with other advocates who plan on attending. Local Chapter Map
