Write to Your Congressman

Federal legislation (H.R 2115) is now pending to create an Office of Men's Health in the USA. It is in the committee stage. As you may know, an Office of Women's Health already exists, so a counterpart version of this seems only fitting. After all, if women are to be the "Royal Sex", then certainly some manner of noblesse oblige is in order, yes? Peasant rebellions can be nasty, so it is best to keep the peasants happy, or at least humor them occasionally.

I think it is an excellent idea to establish such an office in the government. It's all about symbolism. The very existence of such a thing would send a political message that would make the feminists very unhappy—and in the long run that would not be good for their health. (For example, it might drive up their blood pressure!) And if it is bad for the health of feminists, it cannot help but be good for men's health!

So, do visit the link above, and read all about H.R 2115, and give it your careful consideration.

There is a lot of hard work that has gone into men's health issues. Especially from male doctors and the elders in society.

An American specialist speaker who visited NZ told us that a man donated $40 million to prostate canner and this is what got the government involved.

I can't find the exact donation on the below sites but ... they are still interesting. (read 3 times to find it)http://tinyurl.com/r6jcoc

Here in NZ we have a wonderful elderly man who has travelled right through the country and overseas speaking and listening to groups/specialists and many, many wonderful women and men organising meetings and lobbying.

Hey, even the playboy bunnies are caring!

I hope the US gets it's Office. It will care more about men in other areas also.

About bloody time. Unfortunately i don't see it happening, not with Obama and the Dems in charge of everything. Still, i do think it's a good idea for Americans to tell their reps that they want this. Can't hurt.

If this thing doesn't pass, it does one good service at any rate: it raises the profile of the issue. . .
