It’s Time for the Senate to Act!
Congress is scheduled to return to Washington D.C. in the second week of November. Before they went on recess at the end of September the work of the American Heart Association and You’re the Cure advocates like you led to a major step in our campaign to build a Nation of Lifesavers. The House of Representatives unanimously passed the HEARTS Act. The HEARTS Act is a bill that would improve the chain of survival when someone suffers a cardiac arrest in school.
