Hi gang, Well that's weird--it took a bit over a week for my post on Mission Days and the challenge to arrive on this list.
I did write a letter and it's in the "Files" section on the website for the list. It's called "Advocacy Letter for list.doc". You should be able to download this to your own computer (double click on the file, then "Save as" to your computer). If that doesn't work, open it up and copy and paste to a document on your computer. Here's what you need to do: Find out who your 2 senators and 1 representative are. Find your senators and their addresses using http://directory.usayfoundation.org/ Find your representative using this link https://forms.house.gov/wyr/welcome.shtml Change the name and address information in the letter, the salutation, and your own name and address on the bottom. Also change anything in the body of the letter that you want. Or elaborate on your own personal story if you like--just try to keep the letter to one page as that's kind of a rule of thumb for these types of letters. Print and sign your letters. Address an envelope for each letter and mail the 3 letters. Let me know that you've sent the letters, what state you live in and the name of your representative and I will let the LLS know that you've done this. They would love to know that patients out there are getting involved. If anyone needs help with any of this, please feel free to email me on the list or privately--I'll be happy to help in any way I can. Thanks so much for the help of everyone who is doing this. Believe me it really does make a difference. We are alive because others have fought for funding for research in the past and we really do need to get involved if we want to find a cure.
