I received this email this morning from Phyllis Mervin.
Please check below and see if your Representative has co-sponsored this bill. Even though Florida is not mentioned, we have 3 co-sponsors. If not, call them!! Use the address listed below and it will give you their names, numbers, and email address. (It looks like we have about 32 of the 50 co-sponsors needed).
Congratulations to the states who have had legislators sign on in the past month: NY, TX, KS, NH, CA, CT, TN, IA, PA, MA, CT, and VA If yours has not, go to http://www.cwork. com

well, i just called again IOWA'S 4 OTHER HOUSE REPS on HR 1179.
leonard boswell has been a co-sponsor 1-2 times before and assuered me on 3-23-09 at OBAMA'S HEALTH CONFERENCE IN DES MOINES that he would be again.
called his office again today to speak to the person he said to specifically call; got her machine again!
talked to 3 other secretaries for the others and emphasize we iowans/other need their help in being co-sponsors of this bill!
i also emphasized EACH OF THEM was to have received last fall:
1 copy of UNDER OUR SKIN lyme dvd
1 copy of CURE UNKNOWN by pam weintraub
they each wrote it down. so if you are calling folks, ask them if they'd seen or read this ?? doesn't hurt to put our plugs in; don't you think?
