This week is a very critical week and your help is needed…so out of respect for your time I will keep this really short and sweet with a “begging” overtone.
While it’s sad that there has to be a “begging” overtone-there is no choice. This week is the final week that Congress will meet in 2015. It is expected that Congress will make a decision on supporting and funding (or not supporting and funding) the “Zadroga” act.
In order to pass before the end of the year, it must be voted on as part of the omnibus spending bill or be attached to a tax-extending bill.
Please call your congress member or senator and urge their support to fully fund and support HR 1786 (https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/1786).
Simply put, the bill would pay for medical care for emergency medical workers and others, including police officers, firefighters and construction workers who risked their lives on Sept. 11, 2001, or in the weeks and months after to recover bodies and begin the cleanup. They were exposed to toxic chemicals that have sickened or killed many of them.
你为什么要作为一个消防队员MAKE THE CALL?Because this could have been you on 9/11-and may be you the next time our country is attacked. This is truly about “actions not words” related to the Brother and Sisterhood of Firefighters.
请立即打电话，请将其传递给您的消防员，朋友和家庭 - 请让他们打电话。
没有SH！T - 有消防员真正消除癌症，那些很快的人将允许我们的国家转向我们的背部。他们需要我们的支持与您可能需要相同的支持。
