Notes from the YouTube video:

Ryan White Funding At Risk For Georgia HIV & AIDS Agencies - Act Now!
Sep 25 2009
(ATLANTA :: 25 September 2009) - Positive Impact, AID Atlanta and many other Atlanta- and Georgia-based organizations rely on funding from the Ryan White Care Act. And the deadline to extend and/or renew looms in a few days.
With Congress atwitter about the healthcare debate, many eyes are off the ball and we need to focus to make sure this funding is not interrupted.
I just left a voice message with Sen. Isakson’s office, and his page crashed when I tried to send the following e-mail:
“Subject: REAUTHORIZE THE RYAN WHITE CARE ACT
The subject says it all, and you should make that an official topic in your pull-down menu. This is a HUGE deal for HIV agencies in the state of Georgia and it's not getting sufficient play - either in the media or from your public statements.”
Please take a moment to contact his office. Here’s his info:
Washington, DC Office
120 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510
(202) 224-3643/ Fax: (202) 228-0724
Georgia Office
One Overton Park, Suite 970
3625 Cumberland Boulevard
Atlanta, GA 30339
(770) 661-0999/Fax: (770) 661-0768
Sen. Isakson, give your constituents the chance to e-mail you directly about this and other important issues. SHAME ON YOU.
Last, since this is a national-funding program, no matter where you live it’s important to let your representatives in the House and Senate know that reauthorizing Ryan White funding is critical to HIV services everywhere. Click here to find out how to get contact info for your representatives.
Give ‘em hell!
