This week, by a vote or 46 to 52, an amendment that proposed cutting billions of dollars in critical disease prevention and public health funding was defeated in the U.S. Senate!
Please send a quick note of thanks to your Senator(s) by following the link below:
Thank Your Legislators for Protecting Public Health Funding
By defeating the amendment and preserving this funding, the Prevention and Public Health Fund will continue to be used for meaningful public health efforts in communities across the country. Currently, the Fund supports efforts to increase tobacco control, implement tobacco cessation services, combat obesity, and promote better nutrition and physical activity. Prevention is paramount in our fight against heart disease and stroke- and we should be proud of our Senators who stood up to protect this vital funding.
Thank Your Legislators for Protecting Public Health Funding
Thank you for joining us in thanking your U.S. Senators for their efforts. We can't spell CURE, without "U".
