Call your Representative TODAY!

The following was received from the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance:

We’re struggling to get Congressional support for the Dear Colleague letters for Johanna’s Law and the DoD Ovarian Cancer Research Program. These programs are so important, but If we don’t get enough Representatives signed onto these letters, the programs won’t get necessary funding.

First Call - for Johanna's Law

1) Go to http://capwiz.com/ovarian/dbq/officials/ and enter your zip
code.

2) Call the office of your Representative in the House. State that
you are a constituent and that you need to speak to the Health L.A.

3) When talking to the Health L.A., state what city/town you're from,
and briefly tell them about your organization.

4) State that you are calling to request that the Representative sign
onto a Dear Colleague letter requesting $10 million for Johanna's Law, so
the CDC can continue its gynecologic cancer education and awareness
programs.

5) Say that the tentative deadline for signers is this Friday. Ask
when would be good a good time to follow-up to see if the Congressman
signed onto the letter.

6) Tell them to contact (if your Rep. is a Democrat) Sarah Dash in
DeLauro's office or (if your Rep. is a Republican) Brian Fauls in Burton's
office.

7) Thank them for their time and then ask if you can speak to the
Military L.A. about a Dear Colleague for the Department of Defense's
Ovarian Cancer Research Program



Second Call - for DoD Ovarian Cancer Research Program

Call the office of your Representative in the House a second time. State that
you are a constituent and that you need to speak to the military L.A.

1) When you're on the phone with the military L.A., state you are a
constituent, what city/town you're from, and briefly talk about your
organization.

2) State that you are calling to request that the Representative sign
onto a Dear Colleague letter requesting $30 million for the Department of
Defense's Ovarian Cancer Research Program.

3) Tell the L.A. that the deadline for signers is next Wednesday (the
17th). Ask when it would be a good time to follow-up to see if the
Congressman signed on.

4) Tell them to contact (if your Rep. is a Democrat) Dan Zeitlin in
DeLauro's office or (if your Rep. is a Republican) Brian Fauls in Burton's
office

Keep track of whether your Representative has signed onto the Johanna's Law Dear Colleague letter by going to http://tinyurl.com/JL2011. Page will be updated when we are notified Representatives will sign the Dear Colleague.
