Teri,

What excellent work you and the other migraine advocates have done! Most people just don't understand the connection between political advocacy and improvement in their lives, especially when serious scientific research is necessary.

I work in politics, so I see first-hand what a difference involvement makes. Attention, migraineurs: get everyone you know to follow up as Teri suggested. Legislators won't know how important this is unless they get an avalanche of constituent contact about it. The more they hear from us and the people who have to watch us struggle, the more likely it is they'll do the right thing.

Thanks, Gidget!

I really hope everyone will print the information flier and give it to family and friends. As you said, our legislators need to hear from us to know how serious this situation is. We need everyone to email their representatives early next year if we're to get the response from Congress that we need.

Thanks for commenting!
