Many of you may have received and acted on the
e-mail alert below. If so, great. But we also need a very, very important
follow up action. We need to focus our communication to members of the
Health, Education, Labor and Pension (HELP) committee. This is critical.

And it will a bit more than a click of the mouse
but I am asking that you take the extra couple of minutes to do this.
It's important or I wouldn't ask.
Here you will see the names of the Committee members on the left hand
side of the page. Please go to the individual websites of the Republican
members (this will take just a bit of leg work on your part by putting their
name into
Google) and calling their office or sending a fax to them (email is
the least effective) about S. 1375 The Mother's Act.
Thanks very much.
Bruce Wiseman
YOUR URGENT ACTION IS NEEDED on a bill which has passed the House of Representatives and is about to be voted on by the key Senate Committee in charge of this legislation it is called "The Mother's Act" (S. 1375), whose purpose is, "To ensure that new mothers and their families are educated about postpartum depression, screened for symptoms, and provided with essential services...." (Note: The mainstay of treatment of postpartum depression is antidepressants or other psychiatric drugs). The bill is currently in the Senate HELP Committee (Health, Education, Labor and Pensions), which is scheduled to consider the bill this Thursday, February 14th. If approved, it will go to the floor of the full Senate for a vote (again, the House has already passed the bill, so this would be the last chance to stop it). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
