I’m asking you to do one thing in the next two weeks: pick up the phone.

In this second video of our series, I’ll walk you through why your call matters — and why right now is the moment. We’re launching a two-week push to move the ASAP Act — the Alzheimer’s Screening and Prevention Act — and the difference between a bill that stalls and one that passes often comes down to how many constituents call.

Why this bill, why now

Simple blood tests can now detect Alzheimer’s before symptoms appear — but a legal barrier prevents Medicare from covering them. The bipartisan ASAP Act clears that roadblock, using the same model Congress just applied to cancer screening.

The stakes are real. Fewer than 10% of people with mild cognitive impairment ever receive a diagnosis — meaning most aren’t identified early enough to benefit from today’s FDA-approved treatments. Early detection gives families time to plan, access treatments when they work best and the option to enroll in clinical trials.

This is our “mammogram moment” — and it’s in front of us right now.

Why a phone call — and why now

As I explain in the video, calls land differently than emails. A staffer picks up, logs your support on a tally sheet, and that sheet goes to the member. Once a representative takes a public position on a bill, it’s very hard to walk it back — which is why the next two weeks matter so much. The earlier they hear from constituents, the better.

How to make the call in two to three minutes

1. Visit our digital action center. It will connect you to your representative’s office.
2. Say who you are and where you’re calling from. Staffers want to know you’re a constituent.
3. Ask them to co-sponsor and support the ASAP Act — the Alzheimer’s Screening and Prevention Act.
4. Share why it matters to you. A sentence or two about your family, your community or why early detection matters is all it takes.

That’s it. A few minutes of your time over the next two weeks could be the difference for millions of families.

Join me. Make the call. Let’s get this done.
