>
>Act. President George W. Bush will be the first President since the

>
>
>§ In the last year, the number of people living with AIDS increased by over

>These numbers represent tremendous increases in basic human needs for

>
>As the AIDS epidemic spreads into more vulnerable populations, including

>women and communities of color, the increased need for CARE Act-funded
>
>medical care and support services grows exponentially
>
>
>§ In the face of such rapidly escalating needs, flat-funding amounts to a

>large-scale cut. Such a cut is unprecedented since the beginning of CARE Act

>
>
>§ Ask your Senators to urge President George W. Bush to reconsider his

>
>an appropriate increase for the Ryan White CARE Act. Ask them to stand with

>you against President Bush’s brand of “compassionate conservatism” and

>
>
>TO REACH YOUR SENATORS

>
>Call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-223-3121 or visit www.senate.gov for

>
>CARE Act Background
>
>
>The CARE Act funds programs for low-income, uninsured or underinsured
>
>persons with HIV and AIDS. It first passed in 1990 and was reauthorized in
>
>1996 and again in 2000. The law has had a dramatic impact on those living
>
>with HIV over the past decade. CARE Act-funded services:
>
>
>§ reduced AIDS mortality by 70%
>
>
>§ serve an estimated 500,000 people with primary care
>
>
>§ provide the latest drug therapy to more than 100,000 poor people living
>
>with HIV/AIDS
>
>
>§ curbed mother-to-child transmission of HIV by 70%.
>
>
>In 2001, over $1.8 billion in CARE Act funding was appropriated to support
>
>HIV and AIDS services in all 50 states, DC, and Puerto Rico. The need for
>
>CARE Act services remains great; the initial HIV Cost and Services
>
>Utilization Study, sponsored by the U.S. Public Health Service, estimates
>
>that 250,000-300,000 individuals diagnosed with HIV infection currently
>
>receive no medical treatment.
>
>
>The CAEAR Coalition is a national grassroots organization advocating on
>
>behalf of people living with HIV/AIDS who rely on Title I and Title III of
>
>the CARE Act for their health care services. The coalition includes CARE Act
>
>grantees and consortia, people living with HIV/AIDS, members of Title I
>
>planning councils, and community-based AIDS service organizations.

Colleagues,

Please read the message below. Author Joan Price is looking for stories
about how the Internet has saved people's lives. Please direct any stories
you might have directly to Joan (jprice@sonic.net).

Subject: stories for book


I'm the author of the book that Christopher Filkins told you about, 10 Ways
the Internet Can Save Your Life. He says you are willing to share my request
for your stories about how the information and support people find on the
Internet saved their lives. Please pass this along:

Did the information and/or support you found on the Internet save your life?
If so, this author would like your story for a book to be published by
Rodale in 2002.

If this fits you, could you write me an overview of your story and how the
Internet was a lifeline? Please include the specific Web sites that helped
you. I'll follow up with questions. If I decide to use your story, I'll
email you a permission form.

If you require anonymity in the book, I can write up your story with a
pseudonym and without any identifying information. I'll need your real
names/phone/email/address myself, however, and the research dept at Rodale
will also see these and will make one phone call to you to check facts
during the editing process. But your real name will not appear in the book,
if that's your preference. (You don't need to send me any identifying
information until I know your story and decide I'd like to use it -- I'm
just letting you know now what to expect, so that you can decide whether to
offer your story.)

Please email me any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!

Best,
Joan Price
