Get Involved in Prevent Blindness America's 2010 Advocacy Efforts

Prevent Blindness America is kicking off our 2010 advocacy efforts, asking you to take part in Congressional meetings at home. In honor of the President Day's holiday on February 15, we are asking you to reach out to your Representative and Senators and request a meeting in their district offices that week while they are home on recess from Congress. We have prepared a template meeting request letter for you to download and personalize as well as a tips sheet for your meeting. You can find both documents at http://www.preventblindness.org. Download the meeting request letter, personalize it with your information, and send it to your Member of Congress today to request a meeting during the week of February 16-19!

Won't you share your story of vision and eye health with your Member of Congress? Please help Prevent Blindness America advocate for vision and eye health by sharing your story with your Representative and Senators. Eye and vision health issues affect all Americans.

For more information about our advocacy efforts, go to http://www.preventblindness.org or call (800) 331-2020.
