VISITS
From August 3 – September 4, Members of the U.S. House of Representatives will be working from their District offices near your home. This is an incredible opportunity for you to meet with your Representative, explain the importance of H.R. 1255, and ask him/her directly to COSPONSOR H.R. 1255.

VOR can provide you with supporting documents to leave with your Representative. Contact Tamie at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

CALLS
If you are not able to meet with your Representative in his/her District office, calls are important and effective too. Call the District or the D.C. office and ask to speak with the Health LA – this is the staff person that will mostly likely handle request relating to H.R. 1255.
