	Make your voice be heard!! Go ask tough questions if you're in DC. This year is the chance of a lifetime to turn PEPFAR prevention around & get it fully funded. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kaytee Riek Date: Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 2:44 PM Subject: [08-STOP-AIDS] 5/13 in DC: fabulous birddogging opportunity To: 08-stop-aids (at) critpath.org Hi everyone - Are you free in DC on May 13th for a fabulous opportunity to birddog a number of key targets? There's an all day "Conference" on Capitol Hill that features a handful of Congressional targets who we should talk to about funding for the Global Fund, PEPFAR and other key programs. The announcement is below. Let me know if you'd be interested in going with me, either for the whole day or part of the day. The times of speakers isn't announced yet, and there are so many good speakers to birddog, so preferably you'd be able to come for the whole time. This is perfectly timed with Congress' work on the 2010 spending bill where we'll decide how much money is spent next year on PEPFAR, the Global Fund, and other programs.
