Please take action. It took me literally less than a minute to do this using the voter voice icon on lymedisease.org

Let's work together and keep this going. Hopefully this will be a very active thread.

Yes, this bill is our one best chance to finally change the direction of the federal government regarding Lyme policy! We need thousands of people to do this. Please share with your friends.

Done. I sent it to family as well and hoping to get a few of them to help out also. I so so wish things were differently politically with lyme.

Thanks for always finding these, ME.

ACTION ALERT REMINDER!

You are generating lots of letters, but there's no such thing as too many. Last time we looked New York was winning with most letters, followed by California, Pennsylvania and Minnesota. If you are in another state, I know you want your Senators to have just as many letters as the winners! Click here to send yours.

Don't forget to click the little Twitter icon also, and forward this
letter to all your friends and relatives. Put the link on Facebook! People do need reminders.

_You don't need to write your own letter! _

Here's what Courtney from our New York group wrote:

I just submitted my letter. So easy! When I first saw the request Ithought you were asking us to write out a letter and snail mail it.I planned on doing it this morning but then I clicked the link andrealized everything was basically already done for us! I just had toadd a quick line and press send!
It took less than 5 minutes everybody. This could really create somechanges in our care and treatment, let's get as many letters out as possible!

You can send your letter NOW and it will be in your senators' inbox on Monday morning. If you can call or visit your senator, that's even better. We want them to CO-SPONSOR the bill, S. 1503.

I sent it, and posted on Facebook.

I might try giving a call tomorrow. Or maybe even drive an hour or two to the state capital next week if I'm up to it.
