Capitol Building in Harrisburg GOLD for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

Today I received some amazing news. I have been working with Senator Andrew E. Dinniman and his right hand man Adam SirRooch on an idea I had lighting the Capitol Building in Harrisburg GOLD for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month (September). I thought maybe just one night until I recieved this email from Adam today:

I received this e-mail from the office of Lt. Gov. Mike Stack.

I wanted you to be the first to know:

“The capitol will be lit gold from September 1 to September 7 for National Childhood Cancer Awareness month. Thank you for reaching out to us about this important issue. And thanks to Senator Dinniman and the Senator Dinniman team for being such outstanding advocates for children.”

The bELIeve Act Right To Try For Terminally Ill Children Senate Bill 572

CALLING ALL ELI WARRIORS!!!! YOUR CHANCE TO HELP SAVE THE LIVES OF CHILDREN IS NOW! (5 – MINUTES OF YOUR TIME)

As you are aware I, Paul Matthews, have been working with our local State Representative Andrew E. Dinniman and his team to get Senate Bill 572 (the bELIeve Act Right to try) passed. Right now the bill is with the Senate Health & Human Services Committee. The Committee chairs are responsible for calling the bill to vote or scheduling a committee hearing.

WE NEED EVERYONE to email the representatives in the link below and request that they call the bill to vote. We are requesting that you please sent an e-mail to each representative on the list, we need to flood their inboxes with e-mails about Senate Bill 572.

http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/cteeInfo/Index.cfm?Code=33&CteeBody=S

We have drafted a simple e-mail, so all you have to do is open a new e-mail, copy the text below into a new message open the link above to get the e-mail address’ for each representative.

E-MAIL TO CUT AND PASTE:

Dear Committee Chair,

I am writing in regard to Senate Bill 572 and asking that you fully support this bill.

Additionally, I am requesting that you call the bill to vote within your committee.

Below is the link for Eli’s story. Eli is the reason for this Bill and the reason why we NEED to get this passed. Eli passed away on January 20, 2011…..the day his Father dedicated his life to find a cure for Childhood Cancer, the day his Father dedicated his life to honor his loving son, the day his Father dedicated his life to do anything to save the lives of so many children.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month……..my request is that Senate Bill 572 moves forward in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness month.

Thank You

I
