Action Alert
GINA May Reach the Senate Floor This Week! We Need Your Help NOW!
You and the coalition around GINA have been successful!!!
BUT THERE ARE 2 MORE CALLS WE REQUEST YOU MAKE TO ENSURE SUCCESS.
GINA is expected to be on the floor of the Senate THIS WEEK. We have been trying to get the bill to the floor for months and Senate Majority Leader Reid has taken notice. There are still procedural hurdles to overcome so your HELP IS STILL NEEDED TO ENSURE SUCCESS. We just need the full Senate to vote on the bill to get it to the President's desk!
While GINA already has many supporters in the Senate, ALL Senators need to support the bill through all procedural votes and final passage. Your effort can help secure victory and with 2 calls:
Call both your Senators and request that they support GINA on the floor through all procedural votes and final passage.
These 2 calls will take less than 5 MINUTES as all you have to do is register your support with these offices - the person answering the phone should not ask any questions except maybe your name and address. Your call will be tabulated, so we need to demonstrate mass support for GINA.
To make this easy we've included a script that you can use if you feel more comfortable:
Call your two senators and ask them to support GINA.
My name is (YOUR NAME) and I am a constituent of (NAME OF SENATOR). I am calling to ask for (NAME OF SENATOR)'s support for the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, or GINA, and all the procedural motions needed to support this legislation. This legislation provides fundamental protections against the misuse of genetic information in health insurance and employment decisions. It is vital for all Americans to have these basic protections. Thank you!
After you place your calls, please send a brief e-mail to [log in to unmask] with the names of the Senators you contacted. This will help us know who has been reached so we can follow-up with their offices.
We must make a big impact on this issue, and you can help make it happen!
Thanks!
