SADS Action Alert

Dear Sarah,

We need your help in contacting the representative from YOUR state.

 

 

Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act

A bill to prevent genetic information discrimination (losing your employment or insurance because of your genetic make-up), HR 1227, is in need of your help right now. It was introduced by a Republican (Judy Biggert – IL), it passed the senate unanimously, the President has said in writing (SAP, February 2005) and in a radio address that he will sign it.

We have found that if a constituent asks a Republican representative to sign on, they usually do! So this is simple – if you live in the district of any of these representatives, please call and ask him or her to sign on to HR 1227 [93 Democrats and 73 Republicans are cosponsors currently].


Here is a call script you can use. (http://www.geneticfairness.org/call_script.html)

 

Once you reach them, email us and tell us that you asked them. We will make sure that staff from Genetic Alliance follow up with a call to remind them of your request.


I just talked with my representative. (Jennifer@sads.org)

Republicans who have not yet signed on to HR 1227 (see one from your district? Call!):
