Remember our Goal

The goal is to collect 1 million or more signatures. The signatures will then be presented to Congress in Washington, DC, showing Congress that AD Caregivers and their loved ones have huge public support for more recognition.

Who can sign? Anyone and everyone! That includes kids, people not registered to vote, non-American citizens - anyone! A person doesn't even need to "sign" the petition. As long as they say it's OK, you can add their name to it. That way you can even collect names by telephone, fax or email!

A representative of the Caregiver's Army will then take your signatures to Congress.
