NDAA Letter

Email to Congressman Tim Murphy;

Passed last month, the Fiscal Year 2018 Senate NDAA bill includes four provisions that--if enacted--would weaken the Department of Defense's medical research program. As a person affected by MS and your constituent, I am deeply concerned these provisions would severely restrict research on multiple sclerosis particularly through the MS Research Program. 

I respectfully request that you co-sign the bipartisan Dear Colleague letter to the Chairs and Ranking Members of the US House and Senate Armed Services Committees urging them to exclude the Senate bill's four provisions from the final NDAA conference bill (sections 733, 891, 892, and 893).

As a constituent, MS Activist, veteran and evaluator of previous CDMRP/MSRP Grant Applications please support this vital research and sign the Dear Colleague letter.

To sign onto this important letter, please contact Elle Ciapciak (Elle.Ciapciak@mail.house.gov) in Rep. Costello's office, Deena.Tauster (Deena.Tauster@mail.house.gov) in Rep. King's office, Maddie Bushnell (Maddie.Bushnell@mail.house.gov) in Re. Loebsack's office, or Patrick Newbold (Patrick.Newbold@mail.house.gov) in Rep. Bishope's office.

Sincerely,
