My Family Health Portrait
My Family Health Portrait is the Web-based tool from NHGRI and the U.S. Surgeon General’s Family History Initiative that helps you create your own family health history. Using any computer, an Internet connection and an up-to-date Web browser, you provide your health information to build a drawing of your family tree and a chart of your family health history. Both the chart and the drawing can be printed and shared with your family members and your doctor.
Tracing the illnesses suffered by your parents, grandparents and other blood relatives can help your doctor predict the disorders to which you may be at risk, and help you take action to keep you and your family healthy.

About The Family History Initiative
In November 2004 – and to coincide with Thanksgiving, when families traditionally gather – U.S. Surgeon General Richard H. Carmona, M.D., M.P.H., and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) launched a national public health campaign called the U.S. Surgeon General’s Family History Initiative. The campaign focused attention on the importance of the family health history, and encouraged all families to learn more about their health histories. To help with this, the initiative launched My Family Health Portrait: a downloadable tool for use on a personal computer to complete a family health history.
One year later, in November 2005, U.S. Surgeon General Carmona furthered this initiative by launching the new, easier-to-use Web-based tool, My Family Health Portrait.

Sign to DEMAND Congress pass Automatic Voter Registration
Stand with Elizabeth Warren: Sign to DEMAND Congress pass Automatic Voter Registration >>
Connie, this is important:
Right now, more than 50 MILLION eligible Americans are currently not registered to vote.[1]
Democrats introduced the Automatic Voter Registration Act of 2017 to automatically register EVERY eligible voter — but Republicans REFUSE to pass it!
| Stand with Elizabeth Warren: Demand Congress Pass Automatic Voter Registration >> |
Most of these eligible voters are young people, low-income Americans, and minorities — all of whom tend to vote Democratic if registered!
By making voter registration automatic, we could permanently engage previously disenfranchised Americans in our political process.
|
Benefits of Automatic Voter Registration
|
We need a federal law to guarantee that everyone is registered to vote, regardless of their race, income, or voting record.
But we can’t do this alone. Grassroots supporters like you need to keep beating the drum if we’re ever going to implement national automatic voter registration.
Do your part for 95124 now to DEMAND Congress pass Automatic Voter Registration now:

| Trump-Republican tax plan is monstrously unfair |
Trump-Republican tax plan is monstrously unfair
The Trump-Republican tax plan is monstrously unfair – and a vote on it could come today! Extremist Republicans are racing to push through a massive giveaway for big corporations and the wealthiest few, and forcing middle-class families to pay the price.
In Connecticut, 723,773 households deduct state and local taxes, with an average deduction of $19,664. The Republican plan eliminates this deduction, costing families real money.
And now they also want to repeal a key component of the Affordable Care Act to pay for it. The healthcare of 13 million Americans is at risk so that the least needy can have the greatest advantage. This is unfair and wrong.
This disastrous bill has already passed the House, and the Senate could vote on its own version as soon as today. With things moving fast, I need you to speak out and let me know what you think about the GOP’s tax bill.
Click here to take a quick survey about the GOP’s disgraceful tax plan.
Thanks for speaking out.

Donald Trump called the GOP tax plan a holiday “gift” to our country. What he forgot to tell you is that the only ones receiving it are big corporations and the wealthiest few.Meanwhile American families will pay for the GOP “tax plan” with long nights, double shifts, and skipped vacations.
They’ll pay for it with bridges that crumble and schools that fail.They’ll pay for it with the lives of patients suffering from chronic illness. They’ll pay for it with heartbreaking choices between food and rent.But Republicans won’t stop there. They’ll cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid – without a second thought to how the millions of people who rely on that safety net are going to survive.And they’ll keep putting profits before people – unless we stop them. Unless we say, “This is not who we are. Not in our country.” Our only choice is to raise our voices together and fight back. Donate today and let’s build a grassroots movement! Joe Kennedy III

Senate GOP tax bill would add $1 trillion to deficit, report says, contradicting White House promise
