Although Members of Congress spend much of their time working in our nation’s capitol, they have several dedicated in-district work sessions throughout the year. These recess breaks allow members to return home to their districts and connect with constituents – and in fact – may be your best opportunity to get a Member-level meeting. Congressional recesses provide a great opportunity for You’re the Cure advocates to continue to deliver our message, “protect the National Institutes of Health (NIH) from the sequester”. Personal outreach is one of the most effective tools in influencing elected officials. This is particularly true during an election year.
