* Our Lyme doctors are being discredited and brought up on charges; * Our coverage is being denied; * We are losing the ability to be treated with effective protocols. * This is our chance to DEMAND access to quality care!
1. Join Legislators & Media for FREE breakfast
9 am to 10 am
Private Dining Room - 1st Floor / Connecticut Legislative Office Building in Hartford
Call your state legislators at www.congress.org and make sure they are coming.
Speakers:
* Representative Jason Bartlett - 2nd Assembly District for the State of CT

2. Lyme Disease Prevention Informational Forum
10 am to 12pm
Room 1-D / Connecticut Legislative Office Building in Hartford
Matthew Cartter, Durland Fish & others will speak at this forum.
No Lyme patient advocacy representatives have been invited to the forum, but there will be an Animal Rights activist speaking. Who will speak for our children? We consider this a blatant dismissal of the concerns of patients who may have a differing opinion.
3. MAIN EVENT: Dr. Jones Hearing - Medical Board Proposed Memorandum of Decision
1:30pm
Conference Room 2c / Connecticut Legislative Office Building in Hartford, CT
The room seats 200. We need to fill them.
The hearing is scheduled to review the preliminary findings of the panel charged with overseeing this case. It is very important we demonstrate to the Medical Board, through our respectful attendance, the importance of this courageous physician to the care of our children nationwide. This is the first time the entire board will have the opportunity to see the patients & advocates. A large turnout is ESSENTIAL!

Please take down this information now if there is any chance that you will be attending tomorrow. Lymenet and yahoo groups are slowing down as if they may crash soon. The same thing has happened using multiple computers.
