Today, February 20th is National Call In Day! Pick up your phone and urge Congress to stop cuts to lung health programs at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and to stop cuts for critical food allergy research National Institutes of Health (NIH), and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). As the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of American (AAFA) says, “Cures NOT Cuts”. Join me and thousands of Americans, the American Lung Association and the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, in making a fast call to your Congressional representatives to ask them to NOT LET OUR LUNGS or FOOD ALLERGY RESEARCH fall off the FISCAL CLIFF! Nope. Not today. We need our government to keep from making a grave mistake and just about three to five minutes from each of us can make a gigantic difference.
Here is all we need to do right now, today….
[unordered_list style=”bullet”]
- Click on this link to find how to contact your Congressional representative: American Lung Association
- Grab your phone
- Dial the number from above. You will mostly speak to a staff member from your representative’s office.
- Say, “please tell Representative (insert your rep’s name here) to stop cuts to lung health programs at the Environmental Protection Agency, and to stop cuts for critical food allergy research National Institutes of Health, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention”.
- Feel good that you just made a difference.
- Please share with your family and friends. The more calls the better!
Thanks for being part of the solution and change by Participating in the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America! I hope you have a little skip in your step today as you enjoy the good deed you just created on behalf of our children and citizens.
p.s. In case you didn’t know, I am a passionate American Lung Association Volunteer!

One of the hardest things I find about managing both life threatening food allergies and asthma is talking to others. I hate to be the one that might be perceived as demanding, pushing or for asking too much. What I now know, fourteen years later, is that honest, clear information presented with kindness works!..
I just made my call! It took 5 minutes, tops. I used this link from AAFA, which had talking points:

It’s easy peasy lemon squeezy!
Thanks Selena,
Where did you find the piece from AAFA? I know I saw it last week and then could not find it this morning! I stopped drinking tea and it is showing.
