If you would like to write in Support of the Lyme Disease bill.. SB596... please feel free to use these email addresses for the Maryland Senators. Just copy and paste.. and you are ready to rock and roll.
I was told letters are equal to what is considered "testimony".. it just isn't stored in files forever and ever. But it serves the purpose and carries equal weight.
So, please feel free to drop these folks your thoughts on WHY we need insurance coverage.. and WHY we need our doctors protected (no names please).... and WHY we need our doctors to do what needs to be done concerning treatment, instead of being restricted to an outdated treatment protocol that has high failure rates.

TC, thanks for email addresses with the comma after them!
Now we can just do a block copy and send ONE email to all the senators' names in the SEND line!
That's what I did for Penn & NY when I sent my letter from an Iowan; now I'm on a Penn. woman senator's mailing list. I've asked to be unsubscribed, but she's keeping me around! LOL.
I'll send my email tomorrow; time's up today.

Hi Tincup - Thanks for the email list and separators! Sent it along to my Mom on the Eastern Shore as well who saw me through my determination to get diagnosed - it took two states, 15+ doctors and 7 months but I got there.
Hey I know it says you are from the Moon but I was wondering if it is the same part of the Moon where I grew up near Annapolis ;0)

If any of you use Cheryl's that I got today in my digest form, their is an error....
If any of you have problems sending this to the LIST of ALL MARYLAND SENATORS, here is the reason why:
, Nancy Jacob
it's the COMMA BEFORE Nancy's name that is causing your email not to send, so DELETE the preceding comma as there are TWO , , that are together causing this to occur.
I sent a private email to Tincup & Rose for Cheryl at lymeinfo so they could each EDIT their list of names and correct this minor problem.
I tried for 30 minutes sending and finally discovered what happend .. a simple mistake.
I sent mine and copied Tincup & Rose/Cheryl. ============================================
Way to go Tincup, all Marylanders, & the rest of us OUT - OF - STATERS wanting to make a difference so we can approach our OWN state's legislature next year!

Hola Betty!
I see you just posted this just now, but I corrected the problem yesterday at the website. At least, I HOPE it's corrected! LOL Please let me know when you experienced this. Have you refreshed the website and still had the problem? I hope it's working now. Still need to write my own letter, so I haven't actually tried it.

Cheryl, it happened to me YESTERDAY, 3-1 perhaps around 2 pm.
I haven't been back to your site to check it out...just wanted to alert you & others if they had problems, what the solution was so theirs would go.
Betty G., Iowa
You & TC work so well together! helps us all

Betty,
I haven't made any changes since correcting it on Monday, and I absolutely cannot find the problem now. Looks fine to me. I sure hope it's ok. Have you refreshed/reloaded the site? http://www.lymeinfo.net/marylandlymedisease.html
OK - I'm clearly not from the North - and politics generally gives me diarrhea...BUT I'm willing to do whatever I need to for THE CAUSE....even use my real, (gulp) name.
Wait! I'm hyperventilating.
But before I put forth the @#$% effort - is it gonna make a tinker's d#mn for a Texas gal to send her opinion to the yankee lawmakers?
I mean, it's not like I can threaten not to vote for them...or course I could like & tell them that "W" is one of my uncles twice removed & that I'll have him poo-poo all over any of their other state business.
I'll probably have the FBI or CIA watching me after that, 'cause you know I can't get through writing much of anything without cussing.
Anyway, just looking for an opinion....and continuing to bump up this topic for anyone just now pulling their head out of their @$$ -- like me.

Cheryl, I tried going to your web site now, but when I clicked on senator's list, it said my default was not working properly for this. Never had that show up before.
I'm sure you got it all straightened out. I just wanted anyone else to know, like me who took the time to write & email, IF they too might have the same problem, here was the simple solution.
Dr. W,
From what you wrote above, I would have to say NO, your letter would not help because as you stated, "'cause you know I can't get through writing much of anything without CUSSING."
IF you could write a letter and leave out ALL CUSS words, I'm sure you could be very effective in this effort. I've read many of your replies when I was responding to someone else's & perhaps even your post.
But cussing there and here, turns people off. Once you get to that point when the cussing and acquisations start, the reader quits and will NOT return to it.
Sorry, but I do found your nickname offensive. When I joined last fall, it was really frowned on using any cuss words on here, and now I've noticed more & more including your posts/replies.
I personally like Dr. Wise ... just leave off the rest of it.
You asked for an opinion, and that is mine. I have not meant to offend you in any manner. Some folks have are gifted with tact. I'm a farmer's daughter, and just raised to tell the truth.
I hope we can continue having good dialogue going, just without all the cuss words.
Would you change your nickname please? It just sets a tone for new members that they can use any cuss word in their screen nickname.
Dr. W., thanks for your consideration of my comments. This is the 1st time I've taken issue with anyone on an issue since joining. I do not intend to make it a habit again.
Life is too precious; let's use all our rage on changing the MD/legal systems, and not on each other as we're all fighting for our lives....ok.

Got to get ready for my full body massage to ease all the 24/7 fibromyalgia pain, etc. in my body.

I am sure that Dr WA did not cuss in her letter.
Believe me when I say she is extremely eloquent when she needs to be and is one of the better writers on Lymenet.
I DID mention you're like my new best friend, right?
How bout moving to TX - I ain't got me a lot of friends these days - keep p*$$ing them off quite regular...must be the neuro-psychiatric manifestations of Lyme that are causing me to have a "mild" form of Tourette's syndrome. (Some people just don't understand.)
Besides, we ain't go no Lyme here in Texas...haven't you heard?
So you just pack your bags girl, I'll see what I can't do to drive my neighbor away.
I'll use the above mentioned neuro-psychiatric manifestations of chronic late stage Lyme to my advantage.
"Use what you got"...that's my motto. Well, not really, I just made it up.
Eloquent? Well, I'll be @#$%ed! Thanks!
