Friend,

As a U.S. Senator committed to eradicating polio, I am troubled by the recent attacks on polio health workers in Afghanistan.

President Biden has planned a complete withdrawal of U.S. federal troops from Afghanistan by September 11, 2021. Since the announcement, polio health workers have been attacked and murdered.

For Americans of today, polio is a crippling disease of the past. But for Afghans, the transmission of wild polio is a serious threat that accelerates greater regional instability. The promised absence of U.S. federal troops has already opened the door for violence against the vulnerable and innocent.  

HELP CONTAIN POLIO TODAY

It is estimated that OVER 3 MILLION children in Afghanistan will miss their vaccinations this year. Eradicating polio begins with the immunization of children, and the United States MUST not forget the people who make this possible. We must do two things: Protect frontline polio health workers in Afghanistan Ensure that polio does not resurge as a global health threat The containment of polio and the protection of our own people begins in Afghanistan. Help me fight for this worthy cause TODAY. God Bless, Senator Roger Wicker   Paid for by Wicker for Senate If you would like to donate by mail, please click here. Wicker for Senate P.O.
