Yesterday we heard that the Governor was leaning
toward vetoing the bill - but behind the scenes work plus (hopefully) thousands of our calls and emails have forestalled this.

Right now our grass roots activism could make all the difference.

The Governor is being pushed by his Department of
Health to veto the bill, so we MUST let him know how many of us there are so that he knows how unpopular a veto would be.

REMEMBER THAT THIS ACTION IS FOR EVERYONE NO MATTER WHAT STATE YOU LIVE IN
IMMEDIATE ACTIONS REQUESTED:
1) Unless you have already contacted the Governor thisweek , please call and email him now (see contact info below).

2) Please get everyone you know to contact Pataki now and urge him to sign the OPMC Reform bill A4274b.

PATAKI CONTACT INFO:
Email Governor Pataki
Go to the following web
address
and scroll down a bit. You will find a form on which
to include your email message. http://161.11.3.75/

Telephone Governor Pataki at: 518 -474-8390

Whether you call or email or do both, the message
should be, "Please sign the OPMC Reform bill, A4274b"

THIS IS A REAL EMERGENCY. VETO OF THIS BILL COULD SERIOUSLY HURT THE LYME COMMUNITY. If it's vetoed, we will, of course, continue to work to protect our doctors. However, the amount of work would be a huge uphill battle. PLEASE ACT NOW. THIS MINUTE.

The thread in Medical..thanks everybody who could help..
