CONTACT PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA AND VICE-PRESIDENT JOSEPH BIDEN.   Please fax a letter, to both, at 202-456-2461, asking that they increase research funding, for non-familial forms of dysautonomia, at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). At the same time, we appreciate and acknowledge President Obama's support for supplemental appropriations to the NIH, especially in these challenging economic times.

ADEQUATE FUNDING, FOR THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH, IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH FOR MILLIONS OF AMERICANS.

      You can also write to President Barack Obama and/or Vice President Biden, The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500.

     Remember that past medical research cuts, at the National Institutes of Health, imperiled both the quality of life, and life itself, for millions of Americans.       This is as important a national security issue as the threat of terrorism.
