Meeting with your Member of Congress at home is an excellent opportunity to establish a relationship with your Representatives and their staff. Congress is currently in recess and will remain in their local districts until April 17th.

C3 encourages you to meet with your Representative and request their support and co-sponsorship of The Colorectal Cancer Prevention, Early Detection and Treatment Act (HR 1189). Our fact sheet will provide you with all of the information that you need in order to educate your Representative.

Call ahead and make an appointment or just drop by and ask if the Member is around and has some time to talk.
