Today is a special day where Consumer Help Web joins with the American Diabetes Association and others to ask for your help. Hundreds of Diabetes Advocates -- regular people just like us -- are now in Washington, D.C. at the 2006 Call to Congress, preparing to visit their members of Congress on Capitol Hill throughout today Your participation in the Call-In -- along with the Hill visits those present in DC will make -- helps increase our impact with members of Congress, demonstrating the passion with which Diabetes Advocates are fighting for additional funding for research and prevention programs.
Many are already doing their part. Please do yours. Call toll-free tomorrow and help us show Congress that we are committed to increasing funding and expanding research. Your call can make the difference!
Studies show that 1 in 3 Americans has diabetes or is at risk for contracting this chronic, and often deadly or disabling, disease.
"Think of the number of people who you love or care about," said Consumer Help Web president Joan Bounacos. "Now divide that number by three. That's how many people who are close to you either have this disease or are at risk. If you can think of 30 names, that's 10 people. You owe it to yourself and to those 10 people to call."
Please call today and make your voice heard. The call will only take a few minutes, and the number is operating today only.
