Dear American Brain Coalition Member Organizations:

Please join with other advocates nationwide to thank President Obama for his historic commitment to science provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and to urge him to make biomedical research a national priority by providing strong, sustained funding for the National Institutes of Health in FY 2011. Now is a critical time to impact the funding process, as President Obama is working with his administration to determine budget priorities for FY 2011.

Please pass this alert on to your individual members and encourage them to act now and write to President Obama.

The American Brain Coalition is pleased to provide you and your members with access to CapWiz, our online legislative action center where, with a few clicks of the mouse, you can send letters to the President. Please visit http://capwiz.com/americanbraincoalition/home/

There will be a blue 'Take Action!' box. Simply click on "Ask President Obama to Make Biomedical Research a National Priority in FY 2011" and follow the steps.

For those organizations that have CapWiz, please share your response numbers with me in coming weeks. We appreciate your help in this important effort.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Thank You,
Allison Wainick Kupferman
