An Open Letter to Congress

To the Senators and Congressmen and women of the United State Government:

I do not feel that you are giving my son a fair voice in your actions. I know that as members of this great nation's government, you are all faced with many important and difficult decisions. However, I cannot begin to comprehend why it has taken over six months to act on HR 3334 or S2042. This should be an easy decision! There are no sides or finding middle ground or preserving the interests of special groups in this vote. There will be no major political fall out if you pass this bill. In fact, the only dire consequence at stake is the time being lost by your lack of action on this matter.

So, my question to you is this: why do you continue to let these bills sit without acting on them? And, why can I not get a response when I write to any of you involved in this decision making process?

I feel that none of you care about me as a voter or my son who fell victim to this terrible disease, and that is making me lose faith in this government and those in charge of it.

Signed,
