This is it! GINA may go to the Senate floor this week!
Take action to secure success for GINA
The Senate may consider the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) as early as the week of April 14th! This legislation provides fundamental protections against the misuse of genetic information in health insurance and employment decisions.
We need your support to make sure GINA is successful.
Please take 5 minutes or less to make the following 3 phone calls.
A staff member will answer and take the call:
Call Senator Reid at 202.224.3542 and thank him for his support of GINA.
Sample script "My name is (YOUR NAME) and I am calling to thank Senator Reid for his leadership on the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, or GINA. I would like to encourage him to take swift action to ensure GINA's success. Thank you!"
Call your two senators and ask them to support GINA. You can find their names and contact information at http://geneticalliance.org/senator.list
