Message from Dr. Jones about the Sept. 28, 2006 Hearing
Charles Ray Jones, MD Susan L. Marra, ND Madison Towers 111 Park Street New Haven, CT 06511
September 12, 2006
Dear Valued Friends and Patients;
I have just heard from Attorney Pollack that the next scheduled date for the continuation of my hearings is Thursday, September, 28, 2006 at 10:00a.m. in the Legislative Office Building, Hartford, CT, Room 1E. As all of you know, this has been a rather tedious and difficult fight for the long term antibiotic treatment of Lyme disease and coinfections in children. However, this hearing is particularly important. The mother and the two children for which this hearing is all about will be testifying in regards to the outcome of my Lyme Disease treatment for them. The mother is very sympathetic to my situation and wants to help me in any way to ensure success and continued medical practice. But again, I need your support as well. If you are able to attend my 5th hearing on September 28, 2006 for 2 or 3 hours, I would greatly appreciate your presence. The children in question are happy, well and will demonstrate that my work is worthy and correct. Please help me to continue fighting this very important pediatric medical issue. Thousands of children will benefit from a positive outcome of my hearings, and other physicians will be able to continue practicing without fear that they too may find themselves against a medical board for less than appropriate charges.
Thank you for your continued support, and your presence at this particular hearing would be most appreciated.
Dr. Jones has asked YOU to attend his hearing on Sept. 28 at 10 am. It will be shorter than the past hearings, about 3 or 4 hours. Will you be there? http://www.lymesite.com/drjones.htm

What do you owe Dr. Jones & ALL LLMDs? What do you, your family, friends and relatives owe Dr. Charles Ray Jones?
We owe him everything. He saved our daughter's life, literally. He GREATLY improved our son's life. What would have happened to our kids, and yours, if Dr. Jones wasn't the selfless GIANT of a man he is? What do you owe him?
A day trip to CT to show him you care, financial support?
I owe him way more than a few days spent attending his hearings to let him know he is supported, WAY more.
Maybe Dr. Jones hasn't treated anyone in your family or anyone you know. Do you still owe him your physical presence at his hearings and your financial support? He is fighting the fight for ALL LLMDs. EVERY LLMD deserves our support in time of need.
It astounds me that highest attendance for any of his hearings has been about 100 people! I know he has saved THOUSANDS of kid's lives. At his last hearing...just over FIFTY people!
Yes, there are some good reasons to not show up. There are also excuses for not showing up. Are your reasons for not attending solid or excuses? Is it impossible to attend or uncomfortable?
It is fantastic to send a check. Thank you for your financial support. Without your financial support he can't fight the fight. I know he greatly appreciates your financial contributions and your letters of support. Now let's start attending his hearings to give him a visual of the support we have for him. It breaks my heart to see such small turn out at his hearings and I think it must be hurtful to him as well. Though he would never say so...
It may not be easy to show up at the hearings....but, IMHO, we OWE him. We owe it to Dr. Jones and ALL LLMDs to support his fight financially and by showing up at his hearings.
You might be surprised to find it is easier than you anticipated to attend his hearings. Give it a try. Show up. Give him the support he deserves.
Dr. Jones next hearing is scheduled for September 28th at 10 am. "I welcome and extend a hearty welcome to each and all of you to come and see what is going on in the legislative hearings."
