I just got this in my inbox, if anyone's interested...unfortunately she doesn't mention the bill specifically, but at least I didn't get a form letter thanking me for my letter about "healthcare" like I did from my rep Richard Pombo.
Thank you for writing to me about Lyme Disease. I appreciate hearing from you and I hope this letter finds you in good health.
I understand that there are many individuals who have been affected by Lyme Disease or know someone who has been affected by Lyme Disease. It is important to me that people are aware of the appropriate steps to take in order to avoid infection. It is also important that our health care professionals, as well as the public, have the knowledge they need to protect against potential illness. I assure you that I will keep your thoughts in mind should legislation regarding this disease come before me in the Senate.
Also, you may be interested to know that the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has had a long-standing commitment to research on Lyme Disease. I have always supported increased funding for the NIH. For more information on this research, please visit the NIAID website, at http://www.niaid.nih.gov/research/lyme.htm.
Again, thank you for writing. Your concerns are important and I value your correspondence. If you have any further questions or comments, please feel free to call my Washington, D.C. staff at (202) 224-3841, or visit my website at http://feinstein.senate.gov.
Sincerely yours,
Dianne Feinstein United States Senator

Those letters are written by staffers usually. Not saying Diane Feinstein isn't a great congress woman.
I think a reply would be to tell them that the NIH is not doing such a good job when it comes to Lyme research and that most NIH money goes to esoteric microbiology rather than to development of a decent test and decent treatment for Lyme disease.

Good for you for taking the time and energy to WRITE to your elected people about Lyme! The more letters they get, the more it does eeek into their consciousness....even IF it is staffers who reply or read or both...SOMEONE is reading some of what gets sent and each bit makes a difference.
If the letter was written by a staffer, do you think that it is the staffer who knows someone with lyme or Diane? Trails Posts: 1950 | From New Mexico | Registered: Sep 2001

now we see why someone...someone... needs to write a little book about NIAID's corrupt, disastrous lyme policy, print about 5,000 copies and send it out to our nation's leaders like feinstein who obviously have no idea what fauci, $teere, klempnerd, and the rest of that cabal have really been up to.
feinstein's letter, undoubtedly written by someone who has no f-ing clue about lyme disease, neuroborelliosis, etc, probably some 24 year old naive fool PR intern, makes me want to wretch.
NIAID is the most corrupt unit of the entire federal government.
remember, fallon's study funded by NIMDS, not NIAID.
anthony fauci is nothing short of a monstrous criminal who has endangered our nation's future with his corrupt, disastrous, and failed vision involving lyme disease. he thought, stupidly, that the ospa vcaccine would work, and that in the meantime big pharma could make $billions selling SSRIs like paxil to treat neuroborelliosis. and all of his venal IDSA buddies could make millions consulting for vaccines, insurance companies, and even in eugene shapiro's case at least going on a lecture tour financed by glaxo skb (sellers of paxil) through which he blasted chronic lyme patients and repeatedly stated or implied that they were all a bunch of munchausen's cases.
lyme patients have been opressed and exploited in the most degrading and undemocratic ways imaginable by NIAID. think about this: eugene shapiro is on NIAID's most important ID scientific review committee.
a bunch of inhuman criminals, just as bad if not worse than the nazi doctors, especially when one considers the total numbers of lives impacted.
and they're right here in america, firmly entrenched in their gulags at yale and valhalla.
this won't change until our nation's leader's realize the truth about fauci and NIAID.

Thanks everyone for the responses. I was fairly surprised that they would put in the bit about the NIH etc. when my letter was specifically about the support of the Lyme bills in the house and Senate.
I do plan on writing her back, so all this information helps - I want to write something clear and to the point so this helps me with what to write.
It would be cool too if other Californians write her as well . . .
