TAKE ACTION NOW! CALL YOUR SENATORS!

Barack Obama's $800 billion economic aid plan currently includes $400 million in funding for STD screening and prevention. However, some conservatives are attempting to frame the funding as "wasteful" and morally objectionable.

TAKE ACTION: Call the offices of Senators Roland Burris and Richard Durbin today to ensure $400 million for CDC's HIV/STD Center stays in the stimulus bill.

Senator Richard Durbin (202) 224-2152

Senator Roland Burris (202) 224-2854

White House Comment Line (202) 456-1414

Leave this message:  "I'm calling from Illinois to urge the Senator to ensure the economic stimulus package includes $400 million for STD and HIV prevention.  Improving the nation's response to HIV and STDs will help strengthen our economy."
