Re: letter from the governor of NJ

[Guest guest]

I got the same letter. what do you make of it? I do't live in Nj and really

don't know if she supports the vaccine or not. I heard she has Lyme but I

would think if she were chronic tht she would be much more of an advocate

than she is. I was thinking of writing her another letter but I don't really

know what to write or say except " if your so concerned about the welfare of

Lyme victims then HELP us and support us " what do you think about all of

this. Feel better-Val

i also got a lettwer similar tio urs also......this many months after i wrote

her.....she forgot to say that her ad in the papers for lyme awareness month

was paid for by skb.........she has an excuse though she's a lymie and must

have had lyme brain when she wrote the letters....lol

anyone have any ideas on what to put on my sign when I go to CT for the

rally? I wanted to make mention about how Whitman sold us all down the river.

My creativity on this matter seems to have vanished. I'm open to any ideas

for a catchy saying for my Lyme green sign.

Hey Bernadette,

I got the exact same letter yesterday....typical form letter, I finally

remembered why I wrote her a scathing letter, it was in response to her full

page ad in all the NJ papers recommending the vaccine and declaring March

Lyme disease month. Wasn't that also with the ALDF sponsoring it?

Hi Val,

Christie Todd Whitman has her eye on a Senate seat soon to be vacated in

NY. She may be running against Hillary Clinton. Whitman supposedly had

some other tick disease, she never specified. Not too long ago, she had an

emergency appendectomy, and they had trouble locating her appendix, and was

in danger. Reports said that fortunately she was on antibiotics at the time

for another condition......and that was what saved her. My impression of

Whitman is she is so politically motivated, she can never ever admit to a

chronic disease. Lyme residents of NJ have bombarded her with letters and

calls, and she just sends out form letters, but really has done nothing to

help us to my knowledge anyway.

Feel good,

Marta

may be it is time to begin getting hillary on our side!! if the chick has

chronic lyme she won't be able to hang on much longer if she does not

believe in correct treatment! i am assuming she is " cured " but would not

say she is not as it may ruin her political career?

That is a fantastic letter from the governor's point of view. It says

absolutely nothing and sounds really good. I doubt she even wrote it.

WHAT A WASTE.

Marleen,

I really can't think of anything, other than the one that someone on this

list, (my mind is garbled, sorry) uses as a sign off, it's a great one.

" Living with Lyme is a Crime " Maybe she will post and give you her

permission to use her phrase. Sorry I am not more original.

Hugs,

Marta

Hi,

That is only my take on this, sheer speculation on my part....but it

makes sense to me.
