• Since the summer of 2007, the Congressional MS Caucus has been successful and effective in the House of Representatives. Currently, the House MS Caucus 76 members, and it continues to grow every day.

• The Congressional MS Caucus provides you, as an MS activist, with a set of champions in Congress to count on for leadership and support of MS issues. It will help bolster our advocacy efforts and give us an even more effective presence on Capitol Hill. The bi-partisan MS Caucus serves as a forum for members of Congress, their staff, related organizations, and individuals to discuss critical health care, disability, research, and other issues affecting people living with MS and other conditions. The MS Caucus raises awareness of the disease and helps us as we move closer to a world free of MS.

• The Society is thrilled with the enthusiasm, experience and leadership that both Senators Dorgan and Hatch bring to the MS Caucus. Now is the time to begin recruiting Senators to join the caucus and the MS movement. Click here to send an e-mail asking your Senators to join this important group.
