HRES 1325 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.

F.A.S.T. helps people recognize the symptoms of stroke: Balance loss, Eye or vision changes, Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, and Time to call 911; Whereas high blood pressure is the leading risk factor for stroke, and managing blood pressure along with healthy every day choices such as eating well, moving more, and not using tobacco or nicotine can significantly reduce stroke risk; Whereas having a stroke increases the risk of another one, and understanding personal risk factors and working with health care professionals to manage those risks can help prevent future strokes; and Whereas, during “American Stroke Month” in May, the American Stroke Association’s Together to End Stroke initiative, works to educate communities that stroke is largely preventable, treatable and beatable: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the House of Representatives expresses support for “American Stroke Month” and encourages all to learn the warning signs of stroke, understand their personal risk factors, and take action to improve stroke prevention, response, and recovery in our communities. <all>
