This notice was received by Generation Q concerning a bill before the House of Representatives. Get the word out about this important peice of legislature.

***URGENT ACTION NEEDED ON RYAN WHITE CARE ACT***

This morning, the Senate passed the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act, a bill to reauthorize the Ryan White CARE Act. In order for this critical bill to pass, however, the House must consider the identical bill before it adjourns tomorrow. The Ryan White Care Act provides critical care and treatment to low-income Americans living with HIV and AIDS. For communities across the nation to continue providing access to life-saving primary medical care and supportive services, the Act must pass now. Congressman Joe Barton (R-TX), who is chair of the Energy and Commerce Committee, has not yet agreed to put the bill up for a vote. Time is running out, and we need your help in convincing Chairman Barton that immediate passage of this program is critical for Americans living with HIV/AIDS across the country. Call Representative Barton's office now at (202) 225-2002 and tell him how important it is that the Ryan White CARE Act be passed!

"I am calling to urge Chairman Barton to allow consideration of the Senate Version of the Ryan White CARE Act on the House Suspension Calendar. Americans across the country living with HIV depend on this program for access to life-saving treatment and care. The time to pass the Ryan White CARE Act is now."
