Linda’s comment: ALERT….COPY AND PASTE THIS TO EVERYONE YOU CAN…SEND TO YOUR ADDRESS BOOK AND ANYWHERE ELSE YOU CAN POST.
IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO ALREADY, PLEASE TAKE A FEW MOMENTS OF YOUR TIME AND SIGN THE PETITION AT THE LINK BELOW.
AS AN ADVOCATE, I HAVE SPENT MANY HOURS WRITING LETTERS AND ARTICLES AND TESTIFYING ON BEHALF OF THE LYME COMMUNITY, AND I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT OF THIS PROJECT.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE. ALTHOUGH YOU MAY BE WORKING WITH YOUR OWN HEALTH DEPARTMENT IN A FAVORABLE WAY, THE CLIMATE REMAINS DIFFICULT IN OTHER STATES. PLEASE SUPPORT THIS ENDEAVOR BY CIRCULATING THE PETITION TO YOUR GROUP MEMBERS.
I ASKED A LEADER OF THE ARIZONA LYME DISEASE ASSOCIATION, WHOSE MEMBERS.ARE DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THE ARIZONA STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT BY CIRCULATING IT AMONG HIS MEMBERS. HE REFUSED TO SO SO. I FIND IT ALARMING THAT A SUPPORT GROUP LEADER WOULD DENY HIS MEMBERS THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE THEIR FREE WILL AND MAKE THEIR OWN DECISION AS TO SIGNING A PETITION THAT WOULD DIRECTLY IMPACT THEIR HEALTH.
THEREFORE, I AM CIRCULATING THE PETITION ONCE MORE TO GARNER MORE SIGNATURES AND AM REQUESTING THAT OTHER PATIENTS AND ADVOCATES SIGN THE PETITION IN SUPPORT.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO ALL ON YOUR LISTS AND ON FACEBOOK, ALSO. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE WITH THIS PROJECT AND A BIG THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY RESPONDED.
