Dear TSA Members and Friends: The TSA has an ongoing effort to raise awareness about TS and issues affecting the TS community and at this time we would like you to advocate for the Tourette Syndrome Public Health, Education, and Research Program at the CDC. As you know, this program is a direct result of TSA’s vigorous advocacy for an authorized partnership with the CDC to develop and implement outreach programs to educate the public, health care providers, educators, and community based organizations about TS. In order for this program to continue to make an impact towards improving the lives of individuals with TS, Congress must appropriate the necessary funds each year. The Tourette Syndrome Association is requesting $2 million dollars (cost of the program) to be allocated to the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for fiscal year 2010. As Congress prepares to consider the appropriations bill on the House Floor and in the Senate, we ask for the same constant persistence of TSA members and friends like you–emailing and calling your Representatives and Senators about our issues and concerns. Remember that Grassroots advocacy is a very powerful tool. Thank You _________________________ Elridge Proctor, MPA Vice President of Public Policy Tourette Syndrome Association, Inc. 1301 K.
