Did you know that you can support the American Academy of Sleep Medicine Political Action Committee (AASM PAC) while you renew your AASM membership for 2016? In fact, in the time it takes to pay your monthly electric bill, you can make a direct impact on Washington politics. As 2016 approaches, your active participation cannot be more crucial or timely for sleep medicine.
In just under a year, the American people will elect the 45th president of the United States. Equally important, in November 2016, 34 Senators and all 435 Representatives will be up for reelection. The AASM PAC supported 30 successful campaigns in 2014; with your help, this year we can do even better. It is up to sleep specialists like you and me to assure that Congress is ready to lead the charge for healthy, restorative sleep.
To promote the vitality of our field, the AASM PAC requires the resources to fight back against special interests with deep pockets. To fight for the best possible sleep care, I ask that every member take the time to donate $100 to the AASM PAC.
How will your donation be spent? How close are we to reaching our goals? Explore the AASM PAC page on Evolve Sleep and see what it takes to win a political victory.
You’ve seen the television ads; you’ve listened to the presidential debates. Now is the time to act. Join the fight for 21st century sleep care. For the health of our patients and the health of our field, make a contribution to the AASM PAC today!
Sincerely,
David Kuhlmann, MD, FAASM
AASM PAC Chair
