Hello. My name is (your name). I am a constituent of (name of elected official).
I (my spouse, my child, etc.) was diagnosed with an incurable illness, pulmonary hypertension, __ years ago. I run a local pulmonary hypertension support group of patients with this disease. Members of our group would like to meet with (name of elected official) when he/she is in town to share our policy concerns with him/her about this issue.
May I schedule a time for several patients to stop by and talk with (name of elected official) about this illness that affects over a hundred thousand Americans and what he/she can do to help?
Thank you.
