Write Congress Today in Support of the National Neurotechnology
Initiative Act


Posted by Zack Lynch 

 With the recent introduction of the National Neurotechnology Initiative
<http://www.neurotechindustry.org/nntiintroduced.html>  (NNTI) Act in
the House (H.R. 5989) and the Senate (S.2989) earlier this month, the
time has come to ramp up a national grassroots campaign in support of
the NNTI and I would like to ask for your help. It is imperative that we
get a substantive amount of Congressional support as quickly as possible
as we are targeting Congressional hearings prior to the August break. 

Take action: We need to flood Congressional fax machines and mail boxes
with individual letters of support from key constituents like you over
the next four weeks. I urge you to visit NIO's Take Action
<http://www.neurotechindustry.org/takeaction.html>  webpage 

Here you can download sample letters to customize and send. Full
instructions appear on that webpage, as well as a link to help access
your representatives' contact information and fax numbers.


Spread the word: Because of limited resources and an aggressive
legislative schedule, it is absolutely vital that we build a network of
support for this bill. Please forward this appeal along with a personal
note of support to your network of contacts and ask that they express
their support to Congress and share with their networks as well. Please
forward onto co-workers, board members, researchers, clinicians, nurses,
patients, advocacy groups, friends, family, anyone with a stake in
elevating therapies and cures for brain related illnesses.

We need your help - and ten minutes of your time - to secure
Congressional support for newly introduced legislation designed to
dramatically accelerate new treatments for brain and nervous system
injuries and illnesses. This legislation stands to significantly improve
the lives of more than 100 million Americans. Take 10 minutes to protect
your future brain <http://www.neurotechindustry.org/takeaction.html> .
