Pulmonary Fibrosis Research Enhancement Act HR 6567

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I'm putting on my moderator hat here for a moment to encourage all our members to contact their congressional representatives in support of HR 6567, the Pulmonary Fibrosis Research Enhancement Act. This bill would among other things increase funding for research and create a national patient registry which will aid research. This bill is co-sponsored by Mike Castle from Delaware. Here is a link to Congressman Castles statement about this bill on his website. http://www.castle.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content & task=view & id=732 & Itemid=78

As Leanne just emphasized for me, this is very important legislation. I'd ask that everyone call, write or email their rep to ask for their support of this bill. It may even be possible to schedule a face to face meeting with our reps while they are home for the August recess.

The number of the capitol switchboard is 1-. You don't even have to know your reps name to call. You can give them your state and zip code and they will connect you with the office of your congress person.

Thank you everyone for your support of this legislation!
