Have You Contacted Your Members of Congress for Ollie Yet?

No? Well, check out the Families of SMA's Legislative web page. Follow the "Contacting Congress" link. Look at the "Tips for Contacting Congress" and the "Top Ten List."

Alright. Now go get your phone.

Got it? Good. Dial (202) 224-3121 for the Capitol switchboard. Ask to speak to your Senator or Representative's office. (You'll speak to an intern, but that's okay.) Tell the intern your name and that you are a constituent. Tell them you would like for the Senator or Representative to co-sponsor the SMA Treatment Acceleration Act. Tell them about Ollie. Tell them that the SMA Treatment Acceleration Act is important to Ollie and important to you.

That's it. It'll take you about 2 minutes. And when you find out that your Senator or Representative has co-sponsored the bill, be sure to call back and thank them.

Now, pat yourself on the back for a job well done!

Ollie thanks you from the bottom of his adorable, little heart!
