We are very pleased that 13 Senators supported it.

If your Senator did not sign on, it could be for any number of reasons and certainly does not mean that they are opposed to helping people with arthritis. Continue to communicate with your Members of Congress-- the more they hear from you, the more likely they are to actively support efforts to prevent, control and cure arthritis. > > Thanks again for your time and effort! > > > McBride > Vice President, Public Policy & Advocacy > Arthritis Foundation > ------ End of Forwarded Message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
