Re: HR - 1079 Pulmonary Fibrosis Research Enhancement Act Of 2009

[Guest guest]

Ken, thanks for posting this. I have a good friend in Congress and will call him and urge him to help

On another note, my granddaughter nurse told me today that she had a young man walk, I repeat - walk into ER with SATS of 37. They don't know the cause, nor why he was still alive, nor whether he will live.

HR - 1079 Pulmonary Fibrosis Research Enhancement Act Of 2009 was referred to the Energy and Commerce Committee in the 111th Congress. This legislation could have a significant impact on the funding for research and toward the establishment of a national registry to track victims of Pulmonary Fibrosis. Members of the Energy and Commerce Committee are the strongest voices that will be heard concerning this bill before Congress. Other members of Congress will not have a voice on this bill as long as it remains in committee. I have complied a list of the members of that committee and sorted the list by state (there are 59 members) and ask that you contact any friends or relatives that live within the districts served by these representatives and ask them to contact their representative and ask them to support this legislation.
