Invitations to participate in Your Candidates-Your Health: Presidential Primaries 2008 were extended to all declared presidential candidates last month.
The site, www.yourcandidatesyourhealth.org, is live and candidates can respond to our brief questionnaire about health and research issues.
Advocates are urged to use the site to ask candidates to participate in the initiative by clicking each candidate's photo and sending e-mails using sample message text. The success of Your Candidates-Your Health depends on candidates hearing from you.
Return to the site later this month to read the candidates' responses and see results from our public opinion poll on the same issues.
