The Pulmonary Fibrosis Research Enhancement Act

I received this e-mail from the wonderful people at the Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis. Please, click below for a message to be sent to the people who represent you in Washington D.C. Thank you! Tough Times call for Loud Voices!  The Pulmonary Fibrosis Research Enhancement Act (PFREA) is gaining momentum despite tough times on Capitol Hill and the threats of major cuts to healthcare.  We need your voice now, more than ever, to help get the bill passed and move forward to find treatments and a cure!  Call, email or mail your Member of the House of Representatives AND the U.S. Senate NOW and ask them to sign onto H.R. 2505 (House) S. 1350 (Senate)!  See the full list of current co-sponsors (a list that's growing fast) to see if your Members are on board.  Also, and very importantly, please ASK your friends and family to do the same!!  The louder our voices (and more of them), the more likely Congress is to pass the bill that will create the first National Patient Registry in PF to help pave the way for treatments and a cure - NOW - not "some day"!  Click here to send a message to your Member of Congress AND Senators now! Let YOUR member of Congress and YOUR Senators know why YOU care about the PFREA and about your personal connection to the disease.  YOUR member wants to hear that YOU - a constituent - care about this bill!!
