CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Supporting the observance of a Campaign to End AIDS 
Advocacy Day, and for other purposes. 
Whereas The Campaign to End AIDS (C2EA) is people liv-
ing with HIV/AIDS and individuals, coalitions, and orga-
nizations, all united in action to demand a far more ur-
gent and effective response by the Government to end the 
pandemic and to help people living with HIV/AIDS; 
Whereas thousands of people nationwide will have traveled by 
caravan to Washington, DC, from November 5 to 8 to 
advocate for domestic and global HIV/AIDS resources; 
Whereas fully funding treatment and support services for all 
people living with HIV everywhere in the world will im-
prove the quality of their lives;
•HCON 293 IH 
Whereas increasing HIV prevention at home and abroad, 
guided by the best science combined with increased re-
search, more effective treatments, and better prevention 
tools, is key to stopping the HIV/AIDS epidemic; 
Whereas fighting AIDS stigma and protecting the civil rights 
of all people with HIV and AIDS everywhere is impor-
tant to all Americans; 
Whereas observing a Campaign to End AIDS Advocacy Day 
would provide a unique opportunity to highlight the im-
portance of empowering advocates with the resources to 
end the spread of the disease; and 
Whereas it would be appropriate to observe November 8, 
2005, as Campaign to End AIDS Advocacy Day: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate

(1) supports the observance of Campaign to 
End AIDS Advocacy Day in order to provide a spe-
cial opportunity to offer education on the importance 
of HIV prevention and treatment; 
(2) salutes the HIV/AIDS advocates from 
throughout the United States who have traveled to 
the Nation’s Capital to educate lawmakers on key 
HIV/AIDS issues;

cluding Medicaid, the Ryan White Comprehensive
