The national TSA has worked closely with members of the U.S. House of Representatives to establish a Bipartisan Congressional Caucus on Tourette Syndrome. Unfortunately, as of Aug. 15, members of the Missouri delegation had not yet joined this caucus.

Help us change that situation.

Please visit — and encourage your friends and family to visit — this Web page. There, the “Take Action” link provides an easy opportunity to edit and email a personalized message to your U.S. Representative and both U.S. Senators from Missouri, encouraging them to start a similar caucus in the Senate. Be sure to add a sentence or two about how TS is relevant to your family.

We appreciate your support.

The National Tourette Syndrome Association is calling on the 113th Congress to establish a bipartisan caucus on Tourette Syndrome (TS).

For nearly 10 years, the Public Health Education and Research Program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has become a cornerstone of TSA’s comprehensive approach to improving the lives of children and adults affected by TS. A Congressional Caucus would help ensure the continuation of this vital program.

We hope all individuals affected by TS will contact their Representatives and encourage them to co-sponsor this caucus. For more information, please call or email Elridge Proctor, TSA’s Vice President of Public Policy, at 202-408-7009 or elridge.proctor@tsa-usa.org.
