> SAVE THE DATE:  Tuesday, November 26 - A National Call-in Day to Support
the
> Presidential AIDS Initiative
>
> Dear AMSA members,
>
> Among the many causes we give thanks for this November are the benefits of
> the global marketplace we live in, and the responsibility that comes with
> those benefits.  One of those responsibilities is a global response, led
by
> the world's wealthiest nation, to the AIDS pandemic.  In January 2003,
> President Bush will be touring Africa, a continent which is home to 28
> million people living and dying with HIV/AIDS.  6,000 Africans die of AIDS
> each year, including 4 in the time it will take you to read this e-mail.
On
> November 26, call or write the president to ask him to bring something
> meaningful with him: support to the African nations who are struggling to
> control a health and human rights disaster.  Specifically, we are asking
him
> to endorse the Presidential AIDS Initiative, which has 3 components:
> I. Ensuring Access to Affordable Medications
> II. Ensuring Prevention Services & Support for Affected Communities
> III. Ensuring Adequate Financial Resources
>
> On November 26, call or write the President to show that medical students
> care about the world we live in.  A sample letter, call-in script, and
phone
> numbers will be on the AMSA website next week.  In addition, there will be
a
> national demonstration at noon in Washington, DC and other cities.
