Hi Hayley, just reading the board today, and checked here first.
Can you fill me in briefly why this is here? What bill is involved that involves us lyme folks? Thanks for helping my lyme mind! Thanks for gathering the info! Bettyg
IP: Logged |
H.R. 3427, from what I understand, is currently stuck in this committee, and will not even go up for a vote if it is not pushed through.
I thought this would be helpful for people as a quick reference, esp if their reps are on this committee.
Sorry I didn't clarify. Guess my mind is trying to be in too many places.
Hayley

For those of you like me who didn't know what on earth H.R. 3427 is ....here's some info I found by google-ing it.
"House Bills - 109th Congress arrow indicating current page Session I | Session II
H.R. 3427--The Expansion of Federal Efforts Concerning the Prevention, Education, Treatment, and Research Activities Related to Lyme and Other Tick-Borne Diseases
On July 26, Representative Christopher Smith (R-NJ) introduced H.R. 3427, a bill to provide for the expansion of Federal efforts concerning the prevention, education, treatment, and research activities related to Lyme and other tick-borne diseases, including the establishment of a Tick-Borne Diseases Advisory Committee. The text of the bill is not yet available. H.R. 3427 has one cosponsor and was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. Representative Smith introduced another related bill, H.R. 2877, the Act for Lyme Education and Research and Tick-Borne Diseases or the ``ALERT Act,'' on June 14.
Legislative Update (August 2005): Lyme and Tick-Borne Disease Prevention, Education, and Research Act of 2005"
Thanks so much TNHayley and BettyG for the great info! Posts: 89 | From UT | Registered: Jun 2006

I sent an email today to my 2 state senators and 1 house rep covering my county, all in congress.
I requested to meet with each for 10 minutes IF they were to be in my city BEFORE the election.
I gave them both lyme bill nos. and told them briefly what they were about.
R. Chuck Grassley's Des Moines office sent me a reply before I logged off around 4 pm saying HE did not know Grassley's schedule, but emailed my request tothe DC office for action.
10 minutes later I had a call from Grassley's office in DC for 10 minues.
NOPE, he won't be in my area but every day his schedule changes on the spur of the moment.
He does NOT meet with anyone 1 on 1; he has TOWN HALL MEETINGS in all 99 counties of Iowa, which I've been to before.
I did ask Kathy Neubel, Grassley's HEALTH CARE ISSUES asst., why Chuck has NOT signed on as CO-SPONSOR TO OUR LYME BILLS .
She said she's met with twice before on this issue about co-sponsoring bills.
HEALTH ILLNESSES, he will NOT co-sponsor since he does not want to show FAVORITSM for one group over another....SO many of them.
Exception is breast cancer since Chuck's wife is a BC SURVIVOR.
Chuck wants to remain NEUTRAL so all bills coming before him; he does not have to ABSTAIN from voting. CHUCK IS "FINANCE" CHAIR!
Kathy said also this bill will have to be RE-INTRODUCED into session every 2 years , and it appeared to be that way right now; 2 yrs. up!
Senate bill is help up in Committee, HLWP, HEALTH, LABOR, WAIVER, PENSIONS
So that's the latest of what I've found out to date! Use email to contact your DC REPS/SENATORS!
Make sure the subject line shows your STATE name 1st to grab their attention. Put your full name/mailing address at the bottom too. Most will follow-up with written letters.
Iowa's Tom Harkin's office has started emailing me back; 1 day I sent on and received reply SAME DAY! NOW THAT'S PROMPT SERVICE; way to go TOM HARKIN; YOU'VE GOT MY VOTE. Bettyg

Here are the names of the current (as of 10/20/06)Health subcommittee within the Committee on Energy and Commerce: Health subcommittee
Sorry, I don't have the time right now to compare w/ who is signed on, etc. However, as many have pointed out ... this is a lame duck congress now, so we really need constituents to turn the heat on their reps!!!
Joe Barton is a huge barrier! He not only needs heat ... he needs an outright fire storm!!!
I put the above post together so it would be easy for everyone to get contact info within the board, without having to do an outside search.
I visited every Reps home webpage to get this info.
At this point, it may just be a shot in the dark. But as we all collectively hold our breath waitng to hear from the LDA and news of the ILADS conference ... this is something we CAN do NOW.
Thanks!!!
