The bill has critical funding for the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), including the National Institute on Aging (NIA). Call your representatives today, tomorrow or Wednesday and urge them to support the legislation.

These kinds of things are excellent opportunities. Thanks for keeping us up to date on this. I just sent out three snail mail letters to congressmen in my state.

If anybody wants to do a matching thing, let me know, you send out 3 letters and Ill match you with 3 more.

Im going to see if we can get some people to stay on top of stuff like this through a permanent project in the imminst wiki. It will need some brainstorming to get it moving. We can get some people to commit to a team for this and then write multiple opportunities like this into a list and devise strategies to market the project.
