TELL CONGRESS: PHYSICAL EDUCATION IS VITAL FOR STUDENTS

Our children should attend regular Physical Education (PE) classes throughout their day just like any other subject. Unfortunately for many children this is not happening. However, the Fitness Integrated with Teaching (FIT) Kids Act can help increase PE in our schools and create more active children. In order for this to happen, Congress needs to hear from you! Take action today!

TELL CONGRESS THAT MEDICAL RESEARCH IS A PRIORITY!

Over the past few years, Medical research done at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has fallen to the mercy of budget negotiations. Constant gridlock and budget cuts have left lifesaving innovations incomplete. However, we have a chance to change this pattern. As we speak, members of Congress are prioritizing issues to be included in the upcoming budget discussions and they need to hear from you! Tell Congress to improve our nation's health by prioritizing medical research!
