Today only – Please call your U.S. Representative to override President Bush's veto

Yesterday, President Bush vetoed a bill that included $30 billion for the National Institutes of Health, which would bring a $16 million increase for Alzheimer research.
 
The U.S. House of Representatives will attempt to override the President’s veto this Thursday. If the veto override fails, we will lose the $16 million for Alzheimer research.

Please call your U.S. Representative today and urge them to override the veto.

Sample language:

1. As a constituent, I am counting on Representative (your representative's name)  to vote to override the President’s veto of the Labor/HHS bill – HR 3043.

2. The bill contains $30 billion for the National Institutes of Health – funds that may lead to a cure for Alzheimer’s.

3. Supporting additional funding for medical research is a fiscally sound investment that has the potential to save $61 billion in Medicare and Medicaid costs in less than 10 years.

4. He/She must vote to override the President’s veto of the Labor/ HHS bill – HR 3043.
