Couldn’t attend Lobby Day but are passionate about helping pass the FREED Act?
Join in our Post-Lobby Day Letter Writing Campaign!
To continue the enthusiastic advocacy generated during our April 27, 2010 Lobby Day, we are thrilled to launch our Post-Lobby Day Letter Writing Campaign! Now that we have both a House and Senate version of the FREED Act, the time is ripe for acquiring more co-sponsors in both chambers and your letter can help us do that! The sooner we gain more co-sponsors, the sooner we can achieve our goal of passing the FREED Act!
Wouldn’t it be great to see FREED passed this session?! Your participation in our Letter Writing campaign is vital to making this happen. To take part in this simple, yet very powerful and effective opportunity, simply follow the instructions below and then encourage your friends and family to do the same. Remember: we have had Members of Congress sign onto the FREED Act because of receiving one letter from one constituent! Your letters will make a difference!
We've outlined the "how to's" below, including a sample letter for both House and Senate, for your convenience. We encourage you to follow the sample letter below, but also encourage you tailor your letter so that it speaks from your heart, and from your specific connection to Eating Disorders (ie: I’m a treatment provider, a mom, a friend of someone suffering, etc…). While we encourage you to share why the FREED Act is important to you specifically, we also ask that you stay consistent in message by primarily following the sample letter. We also encourage you to keep your letter to no more than two pages in length.
Thank you in advance for your participation in and support of our Post-Lobby Day Letter-Writing Campaign! We could not pass the FREED Act without your voice, passion, and commitment to the cause.
...from the Hill,
Jeanine Cogan, Policy Director
Kathleen MacDonald, Policy Assistant
