How You Can Get Involved |
|
|
You can be an advocate and help us influence lawmakers. The most important thing you can do is to visit your Congressman and Senators personally, either in Washington, DC or when they are home in your district.
You can also call, email or fax your representatives and tell them the importance of increasing prostate cancer research funding. A hometown voice goes a long way to influence a lawmaker’s decision.
