Everyone can help..You can call or write the legislators..Put something in your local paper..ATTEND THE HEARING ON MARCH 10 IN ANNAPOLIS...and another possibility is put a poster in your post offices, if possible..Mention the bus trips..Many bodies are needed in Annapolis..Read Tincup's and Cheryl's posts..

Out of staters can do some of the above..Including sending letters to the editors of MD papers..Let's do this together.

Thanks all..If this works, it will be a blessing to the nation as a whole..

LMT, yes Mame; emailed my letter and just finished completing TC's final poll ... monthly costs.

Betty G., Iowa ... so happy to assist in helping ALL LYMIES nationwide

Great ideas!!!

Another thing to do is...

SPREAD THE WORD to other online groups. Encourage them to attend, write, etc.

AND

SPREAD THE WORD at LLMD's offices.

I emailed the editor of the Bowie Blade (Bowie, Maryland) and the Annapolis (MD) paper about this bill coming up and just to get the word out there.

My Lyme, Babesia and Bartonella probably comes from growing up in Bowie.

The Capital Gazette (Annapolis) emailed me back about making my letter about the Lyme disease bill (in MD) be a guest column in their paper.

Maybe others could also email them about Lyme and the bill.

Thnaks for the info. I think it is time for me to get some of the newspapers in PA on this!

Thanks and a great idea..4 different bills are proposed for Maryland..The current one SB 596, on March 10th for which much support has been planned and now news that #2 will be introduced on March 11th. MD will need all of the help it can get..

How can lyme patients provide the support needed for two days in a row? Hope it doesn't put Tincup in the duck motel..Read her post about 2 elaphants.

I also hope that LDA or some others are helping..I know that lyme patients across the globe are helping..Thanks..
