Tell the Senate to take action on GINA!
Call on Senator Reid to bring GINA to the floor
We must push GINA to success in the Senate for it to become law. With Senator Coburn's hold on the bill, our best alternative is to get GINA on the Senate floor for a vote. Senator Reid, the Senate Majority Leader can make this happen, but only if he hears about how important GINA is to all Americans.
Help to make GINA one of Senator Reid's priorities. Call his office in Washington, DC at 202-224-3542 and tell his staff that you want GINA (S.358) to come to the floor for a vote.
My name is _____. I am calling to ask Senator Reid to bring the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (S.358) to the Senate floor for a vote. This legislation provides fundamental protections against the misuse of genetic information in health insurance and employment decisions. The bill passed the House in April 2007 by a 420-3 vote and unanimously passed the Senate in the 108th and 109th Congresses. I encourage Senator Reid to take swift action to see this legislation to success.
Sample script
Maximize your impact!
Follow up your call by faxing a letter to Senator Reid at 202-224-7327.
Contact your own senators and ask them to contact Senator Reid and ask him to bring GINA to the floor.
My name is _____. I am from [name of your town] and I am calling to ask Senator [last name of senator] to encourage Senator Reid to bring the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (S.358) to the floor. This legislation provides fundamental protections against the misuse of genetic information in health insurance and employment decisions. The bill passed the House in April 2007 by a 420-3 vote and unanimously passed the Senate in the 108th and 109th Congresses. I encourage the Senate to take swift action to see this legislation to success.
Sample script
Spread the word. Ask your friends, family, coworkers, and others in your community to make the calls.
