		<description><![CDATA[<blockquote>NCLR (National Council of La Raza), the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States, will celebrate Senator Bob Menendez (D–NJ) and the significant role he has played in the Latino community by hosting an event on Tuesday, November 17, 2009 to help launch his new book, Growing American Roots.  Senator Menendez will sign copies of Growing American Roots, which will be available for purchase on site, between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m.  The book signing will take place at NCLR’s headquarters, the Raul Yzaguirre Building, at 1126 16th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20036. <br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
“Senator Menendez demonstrates daily a sincere belief that he was sent to Congress to work actively to help improve people’s lives.  He’s a dedicated public servant and an outstanding legislator, a combination that makes him one of the most effective lawmakers in the Senate,” said Janet Murguía, NCLR President and CEO.  “He’s an indefatigable advocate for the Hispanic community, as well as for all Americans who feel voiceless and disempowered in national politics.”<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
The book, which is subtitled “Why Our Nation Will Thrive as Our Largest Minority Flourishes,” addresses the influence of the Latino community on U.S. society and examines—from his unique perspective as the only Hispanic member of the U.S. Senate—why this segment of the population is critical to America’s future prosperity.  In addition, Growing American Roots chronicles the path that Senator Menendez took as the son of immigrants growing up in a tenement in Union City, New Jersey to become a U.S. Senator.<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
“This is a unique opportunity for the Latino community to come together to support the senator, his work, and his vision for the future of our community and the country,” added Murguía.<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
NCLR encourages Latino leaders to participate and lend their support to this community celebration.  The event is free of charge and open to members of the public who confirm their attendance ahead of time, but space is limited.  To RSVP, please click here.  <br />

		<description><![CDATA[<blockquote>What:<br />
<br />
As the national health reform debate culminates, the Congressional Hispanic Leadership Institute (CHLI) and Pfizer Helpful Answers will host a Congressional Briefing, Hispanics and Health Care Reform: Fostering Alternative Solutions and Best Practices. The session will bring together health policy leaders, Hispanic community advocates, student leaders and young professionals to discuss solutions to the health concerns that confront Hispanic communities across the country.  Special focus will be given to patient assistance programs available today, such as Pfizer Helpful Answers.<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />

Invited Speakers and Panelists:<br />
<br />
·       Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart (FL-21) – CHLI Chairman<br />
<br />
·       Melissa Bishop-Murphy – Sr. Director, National Government Relations &#038; Multicultural Affairs, Pfizer Inc.<br />

<br />
Where:<br />
<br />
Rayburn House Office Building, Room B369, U.S. House of Representatives, Washington DC<br />
<br />
Why:<br />
<br />
The current national conversation to reform the American health care system has potentially overlooked cost-effective alternatives and best practices found within the public, private and non-profit sectors.  Given the high number of uninsured Hispanics today, this briefing provides an opportunity to highlight the leadership and efforts being made to address the serious health disparities before a diverse audience of key decision makers in the U.S. Senate and House, administration officials, public policy advocates, as well as other Hispanic community leaders.<br />
<br />
About CHLI:<br />
<br />
The Congressional Hispanic Leadership Institute (CHLI) is a non-profit, non-partisan organization, based in Washington, DC, that promotes the positive advancement of the diverse US Hispanic community in the public, private, and non-profit sectors, as well as in the international community.  For more information, please visit www.chli.org.<br />
<br />
About Pfizer Helpful Answers:<br />
<br />
Pfizer Helpful Answers is a family of assistance programs for the uninsured and underinsured who need help getting Pfizer medicines.  These programs provide Pfizer medicines for free or at a savings to patients who qualify. In the last 5 years alone, Pfizer helped 5 million patients receive 51 million Pfizer prescriptions valued at $4.8 billion in free medicines and savings.
