CRPA-Victory Within Reach!
The 109th Congress is back to work for its final
days...and
Unite 2 Fight Paralysis
is thrilled to announce a political MIRACLE!
Friends, victory is within reach.
The
Christopher Reeve Paralysis Act
(Bill. No. H.R. 1554) has finally gotten out of the committees that
have held it hostage! One last push can bring it to the floors of
Congress for the vote it has long deserved-THIS WEEK!
Your hard work has paid off. If you ever participated in this action-joined a call-in, sent a letter, attended a rally, donated funds, forwarded an e-mail or submitted a picture-this should be a moment of huge personal pride for you. Only 3% of bills are passed by Congress. Your efforts have brought the CRPA further than it has ever gone before.
We need one more push. This week-as soon as possible-please
take a few moments to call the Congressional leaders that can take
the CRPA on its final steps (phone numbers below). Tell them why this
bill is crucial to you and your family.
The CRPA is a good bill, and an important one. It cements the legacies of Christopher and Dana Reeve by advancing research, rehabilitation and quality of life for the 2 million Americans living with paralysis.
We hope that you will savor this moment. Triumph is rare in grassroots politics. Whatever the outcome of this battle, please take pride in having done your part and brought it so far.
Paralysis is a tough opponent. It is there in the morning and at bedtime too. The Christopher Reeve Paralysis Act can bring us one step closer to vanquishing it.
Sincere thanks to you, for all you have done-
Your Friends at Unite 2 Fight Paralysis
