Subject: Direct-to-Consumer Advertising Petition
From: membership@aanp.org

Dear Colleagues and Supporters-

The American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) continues to work with the pharmaceutical and medical device industry to encourage provider-neutral language in all direct-to-consumer (DTC) ads. To that end, we have created a petition to further demonstrate the importance of this issue to the NP discipline. Please take a few minutes and click here http://66.219.50.185/petition to read and sign the petition.

Please forward this message to your NP colleagues as well as others you believe will support this initiative. We will post details on the progress of the petition on our Web site (www.aanp.org) over the next few weeks.

Sincerely,

Mona Counts, PhD, CRNP, FNAP, FAANP Judith Dempster, DNSc, FNP, FAANP
