The main advocacy groups such as FARE and AAFA are cheering us on! We appreciate so much what you have done already. And we really want to see this happen. If you do too, maybe take just a few minutes more of your time and do these 5 things- that would be awesome!!
Our main goal: Get a senator or state rep to sponsor our bill, and keep building momentum by getting more signatures!
We can speed this up! It seems that the main advocacy groups are first just trying to get us more funding for research and a cure. Understandably so! But while we wait for this labeling issue to get the attention it needs, they are cheering us on to get a head start and get a sponsor for our proposed bill, so it will be easier and quicker for them to jump on in and tackle this too!
While being patient, we have to do all we can to continue to get this moving! If each one of us helps just a little more it would make a huge difference, and we may actually see change sooner.
1. Post on social media about it! (Keep posting, & comment on the posts in the fb groups, so it stays at the top of the news feed, so others can see it. (There are sooo many who need these changes, we have to keep trying to reach them)
2. Share it/ share again/ tweet it/ use all your social media to get the word out
3. Get 5 others to sign
4. Submit electronic comments to https://www.regulations.gov
5. Contact your state’s rep & congressmen:
Tell them you are calling in support of a 14 yr. old boy who had a life-threatening allergic reaction to a poorly labeled product, and now he wants a New “Label Pack of Laws” to be passed. They can see an idea of the laws on the petition. www.change.org/BetterFoodLaws . Tell them the major food allergy groups are cheering us on, but can't help unless we get a sponsor, and to contact: Marni Backer Deimler (MarniBacker@yahoo.com)
