Virtual Lobby Days event by the National Stroke Association

This email encompasses all what is wrong with our stroke associations;
No strategic plan, just a scattershot approach. The extremely simple answer is to create a National Stroke Plan like the National Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease
or  H.R. 1098, the Traumatic Brain Injury Reauthorization (TBI) Act of 2013.
By creating a strategic plan all these activities lead to one result, lower death and disability due to stroke.
But no, we get this crap;

Dear dean, We wanted to remind you that the Virtual Lobby Days event ends today. If you haven’t already, please take the time now to contact your members of Congress about stroke-related legislation that is important to the stroke community. Join thousands of Stroke Advocacy Network members—people concerned about the impact of stroke, just like you—to ask Congress to: Repeal the caps on Medicare outpatient therapy services; Help stroke survivors return to work; Ease the financial burden on caregivers; Support funding for stroke-related medical research; Expand access to specialized stroke care under the Medicare program; and Learn more about stroke and become a stroke advocate on Capitol Hill. As a member of the Stroke Advocacy Network, we know you’re one of the strongest advocates in the stroke community. Thank you for your efforts thus far, and for responding to this call to action before it’s too late! Sincerely, Advocacy Staff We also follow legislative activities in your state capital. Visit our State Advocacy Action Center and find out what you can do for stroke in your state today! Want to know what’s happening across the country? Read our latest e-newsletter.
