EMAIL SCRIPT:

Dear Senator Ayotte,

My name is [Name] and I live in [City], New Hampshire and I am [list occupation --student, stay at home parent, etc.]. I’ve just heard from the Eating Disorders Coalition that you have shown interest in co-leading the Anna Westin Act of 2015! I am so thrilled that you are interested in taking up this issue that affects so many people, and I highly encourage the Senator to make the decision to take up this issue.
I care about eating disorders because [insert brief synopsis of personal story here.]  As you may know, Rep. Deutch [D-FL] and Rep. Ros-Lehtinen [R-FL] will be introducing the House version of the Anna Westin Act within the next week. This will be the first time in nearly a decade that eating disorders legislation will be introduced with bipartisan support. I hope that we can do the same on the Senate side, with your support.

Sincerely, Name and Address
