Volunteers and staff will learn the latest information on the Foundation’s advocacy objectives on research, access to medications, arthritis public health programs, and juvenile arthritis. On the final day of the Summit, we will join together to deliver our message to our Senators and Representatives in Congress.

AF DUDE,

Thanks for the link.  I'm new here on the boards but not new to advocating for my son.  My son is four and pauci at the time.  He's on Pred, Meloxicam, and Mtx as well as all the meds for asthma. UGH!!  I often think they run hand in hand.  I got involved at the local Arthritis Foundation on the Juvenile Arthritis Committee.  It has been so helpful and now I found this.  Amazing!!! Thanks for doing what you do, Dude.  ADVOCATING.  It was real simple to get in touch with my Congressmen and Senators.  I even got replies.  I am going to hit the links again about Nov. 5th becasue they will be going back for all these bills that have been stalled. We have to get this Arthritis Prevention, Control and Cure Act passed.  If everyone could just take ten minutes to do this, the Senators won't forget about us when the bill is put in front of them.  Thanks!  I'll get off my soap box now.
