Andrea,

I would like to do something in regard to writing to members of the
Health Subcommittee - Michael Bilirakis, Florida, Chairman of the Health
Subcommittee, W. J.  "Billy" Tauzin, Louisiana, (Ex Officio), Sherrod
Brown, Ohio, Ranking Member and John D. Dingell, Michigan (Ex Officio) .

None of these are from my state, but if there would be an advantage to
writing them, I am more than happy to do so.

I do want to address them properly and my question is, are all of these
persons Representatives and not Senators?

Please advise.

Thank you. Nancy

Nancy,

You are correct, all of these gentlemen are "Representatives".  The members
of the Health Subcommittee are definitely going to be the most influential,
in terms of getting any legislation moving.

I would suggest writing to your member of Congress, and to some on the
Health Subcommittee.  In your letter, to the latter, note that you have
written to your own Congressperson, and understand that being on the
Subcommittee, you know that their influence is important.

Out of curiousity, who is your Congressperson?

Hope this helps.  Let me know if I can give any further guidance.

Andrea
