Warm Greetings, I posted in Activism last week, but thought to come over here to receive a timely response.
Last month this was posted - is it too late to appeal to legislators? Thanks.
Here is that post: "The federal Lyme bill - S. 1503 - sponsored by Senator Blumenthal, is stuck in the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, with only a few days left to "unstick" it.
At this point, our best shot is to get the provisions of this bill put into a bigger health bill the Senate is working on, by adding our language as an amendment.
The key person for making that happen is the committee chair, Sen. Lamar Alexander, of Tennessee.
We're asking you to phone your OWN senators, requesting them to ask Sen. Alexander to add our language as an amendment to this bill.

How we handle activism alerts/topics here now - we have the discussion about anything involving activism in the Activism section, and refer people over to it with a link to the Activism post in one thread in Medical Questions or General Support that anyone can immediately click on.
This keeps the topics as they are meant to be, and also alerts anyone to click on an active activism topic.
I responded to your question in the Activism thread.
