Join Us on Nov. 18th for a Rally
at the U.S. Capitol for 9/11 Health Care
-FealGood Foundation, NYC Firefighter Brotherhood Foundation, & A
Coalition of September 11 Heroes Joined By Elected Officials to Urge Passage of
9/11 Health Bill-
On November 18th, the FealGood Foundation,the NYC Firefighter Brotherhood
Foundation & a coalition of September 11 heroes,along with our elected
officials from across the nation will hold a rally at the U.S. Capitol in
Washington, D.C. to urge Congressional leaders to bring the _James Zadroga 9/11
Health and Compensation Act of 2009_
(http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.847:) (H.R. 847 and S. 1334) to the floors of the House and
Senate for a vote this year. This bill will provide comprehensive health care
and compensation for thousands of ailing 9/11 heroes.
Caring for Americans with 9/11-related illnesses is not just a New York
issue. According to the federally-funded World Trade Center Health
Registry, people from all 50 states and 431 of 435 Congressional districts
nationwide were in lower Manhattan on or after 9/11 and now have serious concerns
about their health. Unfortunately, the federal response to this health
emergency has been inadequate and disappointing because of significant funding
delays, and a lack of organization and attention to the 9/11 health crisis
by the previous administration’s health agencies.
Last month, the nation observed the eighth anniversary of the 9/11
attacks. On this year’s anniversary and the seven that preceded it, we heard many
heartfelt and touching tributes to the heroism of the men and women who
rushed to Ground Zero to help save the lives of others. But this year, we
need more than just speeches and tributes – we need concrete action by
Congress to give the heroes and heroines of 9/11 the health care and compensation
they need and deserve. It is truly the least this great nation can do.
Please join us on November 18th!
