David Wellstone: Mental Health Bill - This is it.

"Letter to Editor"

Alert:
On Tuesday, March 4th call your Member of Congress!

Dear Paul,


The Paul Wellstone Mental Health and Addiction Equity Act has been scheduled for a vote in the House on Wednesday, March 5th.

I cannot emphasize enough how historic this vote will be. For five years, I have heard promise after promise that Congress will pass mental health parity legislation in my father's honor.

Despite being introduced each year, this Wednesday will be the first time the bill has the opportunity to pass the House.

On Tuesday, we need you and hundreds of activists like you across the country to call your Member of Congress one more time.

On Tuesday, call your Member of Congress and ask them to vote YES on the Paul Wellstone Mental Health and Addiction Equity Act (HR 1424).

Capitol switchboard: (202) 224-3121 - ask to be connected to your Representative

Thank you. I'll be in Washington next week having last-minute face-to-face meetings with members of Congress and watching the action on the floor on Wednesday. Your calls will be critical grassroots backup to my visits!


Sincerely,
David Wellstone
