Campaign Unavailable

As you know, NHF held its Washington Days advocacy event on Capitol Hill, February 25-26, 2009.  We were thrilled to have both a record number of participants—more than 300--and 40 states represented.  We have already seen Congressional activity on our issues, and the time is ripe for all NHF members to contact their Congressional delegations to ask them to support our main issue: securing co-sponsors for our House and Senate lifetime caps bills.

Below is a draft letter to send to your Senators.  Please add personal information, relating the two issues to yourself and your family.  If one of your legislators is mentioned below as having recently co-sponsored the lifetime caps bills or signed onto the HTC funding letter, please be sure to thank them for their support.

Update on Lifetime Caps Bills since Washington Days:

Additional co-sponsors have been added to the House and Senate lifetime caps bills, both and now have bipartisan bills in both chambers.
