RESOLVE needs you to call your Members of Congress!

In recognition of National Infertility Awareness Week® don’t ignore your voice! Members of Congress need to know that people with infertility matter.

Please call your U.S. Senators and Representative and urge them to co-sponsor the Family Act and save the Adoption Tax Credit.

Here’s what you can do: (Note: you will repeat these instructions three times, once for each Senator in your state and once for your Representative.)

1. Call the U.S. Senate switchboard at 202-224-3121 or the House of Representatives switchboard at 202-225-3121. Or click here to look up your Senator and Representatives.

2. Ask to be transferred to your Senator’s/Representatives office.

3. Here is a sample script for your call – if you get a voicemail, modify the message.

“Good morning/afternoon. I live in <insert city and state name> and I’m calling to express my support for two bills that I care about. May I speak with the Health Legislative Assistant or someone else in the office?

Once you’re connected:

“<Reintroduce yourself.>*  I’m calling to let you know about two bills I care about, the Family Act, [S 965 for Senate and HR 3522 in the House] and the Adoption Tax Credit. The Family Act would create a tax credit to help with the out-of-pocket medical costs for infertility treatment. And I support the repeal of the sunset provision of the Adoption Tax Credit, which is set to expire this December.

Can I count on the Senator/Representative to help me and thousands of others in our state by supporting both bills?  <wait for reply>

Thank you for taking my call and passing on my message to the Senator/Representative.”

* If you are a military family or a cancer survivor who is dealing with infertility, your Members of Congress needs to hear about your journey.
