Federal IBD Funding in Jeopardy
The 2011 federal budget is currently set up to cut funding for the IBD Epidemiology Program administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This program has been running for the last 5 years, but is now in danger of being lost.The Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) is organizing a campaign to let legislators know that we want this funding to continue because it is an important part of learning more about IBD. Congress will be voting on this budget, so it is important that we all let our senators and representatives know that this program is too important to cut.
The CCFA has set up a system that makes it very easy for you to contact your Senators and Representative by email. You can even add a picture of yourself to let them know you’re a real person dealing with digestive disease. Contact your legislators now.
