I normally try to publicly stay as far away from political issues as possible, but this is really important to me. Please take the time to send a letter to your senators, congressman, and the POTUS, especially if you have anyone in your life with a medical condition that could benefit from research done by the National Institute for Health. In my case, I have multiple people I worry about medically: Brian and his kidney disease, friends and acquaintances with various auto-immune disorders (including but not limited to Jules's lupus), and myself, because my doctor hasn't reached a positive diagnosis on anything so far, but she considers me at risk for developing some form of auto-immune disorder myself. This site did require me to type my own letter, whereas I normally just use the form letters organizations provide to send to Washington regarding one issue or another, but because this is more personal I really didn't mind. If I can write a decent letter in 20 minutes while half-asleep, I'm hoping others will take the time manage the same.
Thanks in advance to anyone who does participate.
