I am a member of DATA, and I recently received this e-mail:

ACTION ALERT

Help fight global AIDS by telling your Senators to support the Santorum-Durbin amendment on global AIDS. Your Senator's support is critical to passage of this bipartisan amendment which will bring total U.S. spending on global AIDS to a record $3.7 billion in 2006.

Specifically, the Santorum-Durbin amendment calls for an additional $500 million for the Global Fund, a key component of the U.S. strategy to fight these three killer diseases around the world.

CALL YOUR SENATOR right now and tell them to fight AIDS by supporting the Santorum-Durbin amendment today!

Call (202)224-3121 today.

Points to make:

* Globally, the Global Fund with help from the U.S. and others is providing lifesaving HIV treatment for 700,000 people living with AIDS today, a major increase over July 2004 when 440,000 were receiving treatment. Though a terrific start, more than 5 million are still in desperate need of these medications.
* The Global Fund needs a minimum of $2.4 billion to keep effective programs running and prevent the possibility of life-saving medicine being taken out of the hands of people with AIDS.
* The U.S. can help by committing the $800 million called for in the Santorum-Durbin amendment to challenge other nations to do their share.

Read the Press Release: Santorum, Durbin Share Commitment to International HIV/AIDS Assistance Programs.

Thank you for your support at this critical time.

Here in Florida, please contact Senator Mel Martinez. He has a web form you can fill out.

And Senator Bill Nelson:

For those outside of Florida, here is a link to a list of all the US Senators.

If everyone speaks up, sooner or later, we will be heard.

I got that the other day also... my letters have been sent!


(Btw, are you guys going to the FL shows? Maybe we could all meet up for them! :) )

Tampa definitely :yes:

Miami, I'm still not sure about. I'm not sure how work will be next fall or if they'll look kindly on me taking more time off (I want to go to the beach with my family in July, I'm not sure if 1 week in March, a week in July, and then almost a week in November would be frowned upon :reject: I have the time, it just might not "look good" if that makes sense - sorry to ramble).
 
I'm aiming for Atlanta, but if that falls through, then I'm going to try for Miami. :)
 
Hello fellow Floridians. Its nice to have some fans nearby.
I am flying out to San Diego next week then probably Atl, Tampa and Miami. I did 11 shows last tour but I can't get out of work. I work at Disney in Production and we have some big shows going on so I can't take off as much as I'd like.
