The 2013 Call-on Congress will be big. Over 80 colorectal cancer advocates plan to attend. Presentations and exercises make for a full agenda. Our legislative priorities will be heard!
But, what if you cannot be in Washington DC with us next week?
Big news – we still NEED your help.
United Behind a Cure – Call-in on March 20
Next Wednesday, Fight Colorectal Cancer will join with other colorectal cancer groups to sponsor the United Behind A Cure Congressional Call-in.
While our team of advocates meet with their representatives on Capitol Hill, we need YOU to call and make your voice heard. By calling in, you magnify our message and the power of our advocates on Capitol Hill.
Here’s the scoop:
Please call this number:
1-866-615-3375
It will connect you with your member of Congress. Please tell them:
You support H.R. 1070, a bill in Congress that will cut out copays for screening colonoscopies when polyps are removed.
Your call could make colonoscopy screening available to millions.
