Letters for Lyme was started as a means of spreading awareness about the plight of Lyme sufferers and the appalling inequality they must deal with in relation to diagnosis and treatment.
Our previous campaign had a national focus, with a goal of getting our voices heard by as many people in positions of power as possible.
This time around the scope is on a much more local level. Our goal is to help educate local doctors about the truth about Lyme Disease and to show them that there is valid research out there that disproves IDSA's lies.
We also want to help our local physicians become more acquainted with organizations such as ILADS (International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society) and the LDA (Lyme Disease Association), which are vital to our continuing movement towards our equality.
The more these organizations are recognized, the less power IDSA has over Lyme diagnosis and treatment guidelines.
Take a moment to help educate a local physician and make a difference!
"However we are making sure to write a small form letter that describes the reason why were are are contacting our chosen medical professional/s."
I would suggest, to make it easier on folks and so more people do it, that you write said form letter basics on your site for people to copy/paste then modify as they see fit.
(Perhaps this is still in the works and will be up there soon, but just in case...)
I'd also suggest posting all 3 sources of literature you listed on your site here on lymenet to also add to the convenience factor which would again make more people apt to act if they didn't understand enough about what your goal is without going to the webpage. I was unclear myself when I read your post until doing so. Just a thought.
