WE WILL BE HEARD!

Copied from an earlier post:
"This campaign is committed to making the case for Lyme Disease heard by engaging your Governor, members of your State Senate, members of your State House, the President of the United States, members of the US Senate and members of the US House of Representatives.

The purpose of this petition is to make our voice heard in the fight against Lyme Disease. We need to establish as many signatures as we can muster in hopes to convince the Congressional Senators and House Representatives to see our movement through as they are the ones holding up the HR-741 and S-1408 Lyme Disease Bills in Washington DC.

WE INTEND TO BE HEARD
."

New message: I just have to add one more--

In my last post, I shared my revision of the petition letter. I felt the need to personalize it and take a more dramatic approach. I was striving to electrify it-- I wanted it to jump off the page so hopefully it will really penetrate and they'll take notice. They need to realize that we do mean business. That this is an important and an extraordinary issue, we're passionate about it, and ultimately, WE WILL BE HEARD.

I want everyone to know that I did not share my version for any form of attention, but rather in hopes to inspire others. We need to stir the fire-- With every added voice, the sound gets louder and more impressive! WE WILL BE HEARD!

I entered mine last night, and my letter submission counted as #129..... I just checked again, and it doesn't appear there have been any new signers yet. I have emailed about 50 contacts-- I don't have nearly as many as I know most people do, but every person we can get to join us-- COUNTS! Lyme or not, pass this on... recruit, recruit, recruit!

C'mon, guys-- WE CAN DO THIS! It takes less than a minute to do your part. The site is set up so that all you have to do is enter in your information and hit "send". Eric Freedom already has his version pasted into the box. You can either leave it & submit his, or feel free to use mine as a template in place of it if you want a little more 'spice', LOL. Or, if you have the time & the drive, you can certainly write your own version.

But whatever action you choose to take, just take it, please--

If we don't take a stand, and do even this simplest form of activism, we are as guilty of idle contempt as they are. I realize that sounds caustic-- It's not intended to be. Just know I am trying to stir your hearts!

Please join us-- We NEED your voice! WE WILL BE HEARD!
