Sen. Burr's Office Called....

...and he has co-sponsored S.1158, a.k.a. the SMA Treatment Acceleration Act!!!!!!

I'm soooo excited.  I had contacted Sen. Burr, Sen. Hagan and Rep. Miller a while ago asking them to co-sponsor the bill (S.1158 and HR.2149).  I got a generic email acknowledgment from Rep. Miller; no response from Sen. Hagan; and a nice, personalized letter in the mail from Sen. Burr.

And today one of Sen. Burr's aides, Anna, called to "close the loop" and let me know that Sen. Burr has co-sponsored the bill! 

In North Carolina, only two Representatives have signed on (Rep. Mike McIntyre and Rep. Walter Jones, Jr.), so please do your part.  Call the Capitol Hill Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask to speak with Sen. Hagan's or your Representative's office.

Your phone call can make a difference!
