We need every veteran calling their Senators. Without your help we may not get the funding. Please call and have your family and friends call too.

"In his letter requesting other U.S. Senators sign on to the "Dear Colleague" letter to Senate appropriations committee leaders and requesting $25 million in Fiscal Year 2013 Defense appropriations to adequately fund the program, Sanders notes, "over the past two years, three dramatic milestones have been achieved," the direct result of broad, bipartisan Congressional support for the program.  "

• Hi, Jim,
  
  Hope this finds you doing as well as possible.
  
  Anything you can do to help spread the word and generating action on this time-sensitive action alert would be extremely helpful.
  
  --Anthony
  
  **ACTION ALERT*** As you may have seen from early warnings, our February and March meetings in DC with Senators and staff were fully successful and the resulting effort has now been launched in the Senate -- led by Sen. Bernie Sanders -- to secure our funding for our GWI treatment program. We have only 9 days to convince as many Senators as possible to sign on to the Sanders Dear Colleague Letter -- the DEADLINE for Senators to sign on is ***Weds., Apr. 18.***
  
  Below is an article (feel free to share) with all the details, what to ask for, a link near the bottom to a spreadsheet with which Senators signed on in FY11 (and all 100 phone numbers), and links to lots of background documents for those who want to read more. Anyone who is willing and able to join in this effort can help a great deal by contacting both of your 2 U.S. Senators and requesting they sign on.
  
  For anyone in Vermont, calls to Sen. Sanders' office thanking him for his leadership on this would be appreciated, I'm sure.
