We currently have about 1/2 of the states in the USA on the list. They each have at least one of their Representative from Congress signed on to co-sponsor the Lyme Disease House bill, HR 741. We really need more!!
The following states still have no one signed on.
Alaska, Alabama, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wyoming
NOW is the time to approach your Representatives ... as it is a bit slower due to the holidays... and they MAY pay attention.
To contact your reps and to see who in YOUR state has not signed on yet...

Darn.
I got a personal letter from Bobby Jendel saying he would sponsor this bill.
I'll write again.
Hugs,

Good to see you G!
Yes... please do follow up.. even with a phone call.
Sometimes they get "busy".. as if we aren't... but they sometimes intend to and unless we act like thorns in their side.. we go to the bottom of their "to do" list.
