TRAVEL INFO for JUNE 22 HEARING NOTE: I have gotten a message from someone that stayed at the Days Inn for the Rally and was VERY disappointed. Their room was dirty and there was no breakfast to be had even though it was before the end time posted. I recommend the Holiday Inn Express as probably being a better value. Drtails below.
Share far and wide my emails in regard Dr. Jones' hearings. Thank you!
In this email are the details for Amtrak and TWO hotels that have offered a lowered rate for Lyme patients attending Dr. Jones' hearing, Days Inn and Holiday Inn Express.
Directions to the Legislative Office Building, 300 Capitol Avenue, Hartford, CT; location of Dr. Jones' hearing can be found at: www.cga.ct.gov/olm/directions2.asp Skip down to the 300 Capitol Avenue info.
MOST IMPORTANT!!! Dr. Jones requests that anyone planning to spend money on travel and hotels to attend his hearing, instead, donate the expenses to his defense fund.
Defense funds are running extremely LOW! After the June 22nd hearing the funds will be DEPLETED!
AMTRAK INFO:
From: AfterTheBite Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2006 1:02 AM Subject: Lyme Train Info- travel tips- Dr. Jones hearing. Please share this with folks in your support group and friends. THANKS! When I was at the Lyme Rights Rally in CT... Dr. J looked right into my eyes and said he wanted everyone to come to the hearings. I told him I would do my best to let folks know. Then he looked at the lime green duck I had perched on my head.. and whispered.. "But no Lyme green.. ok?" So please dress in your Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes for the hearing to be respectful to the court. The LAST thing we want to do is make Dr. Jones's problems worse. Folks asked me details about how I got to CT, where I stayed and what it cost .. and about cab rides, places to eat, etc. Listed below are some details to hopefully make it easier for all who will be traveling. I hope to see you there!!! Please join us on the LYME TRAIN! Tincup
