Dear NAME OF ELECTED OFFICIAL,
Thank you for your support of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA). We are pleased to join you in celebrating GINA’s success in Congress.
SHARE ABOUT YOURSELF OR YOUR ORGANIZATION.
For too long, Americans have feared the misuse of genetic information. This fear resulted in hesitance to seek out genetic information that could otherwise be used to proactively manage health. It also caused reluctance to participate in clinical trials that are vital to the discovery and development of new treatments.
Today, we are one step closer to guaranteeing federal protections against genetic discrimination for all Americans. We expect the overwhelming support for this legislation will translate to success as it makes its way to the White House.
On behalf of the over 300 organizations and hundred of individuals who stand in support of GINA, thank you!
Best,
YOUR NAME
