Informing the U.S. House of Representatives about the devastating effects that prematurity has on families is a key component of the Prematurity Campaign, which has a goal of decreasing and eventually eliminating premature births. The “PREEMIE Act” (S.707/H.R. 2861) was approved by unanimous consent by the Senate on August 1, 2006. It is now pending before the House of Representatives. You can help advance this bill that would expand research, health education, and health services related to preterm birth. Please contact your Representatives urging them to cosponsor this important piece of legislation and help move it to the House floor for a vote. You can contact them in one or more of the following ways: e-mail, letter, phone call, personal meeting. Below is a letter that you can personalize and send to your representatives.
