Valentine's Day Mail Blitz

[Guest guest]

Dear Lynn and Everyone~

The postcards are our way of doing a Lyme census. ONE postcard per

household stating the number of people who have been bitten. I think it

is also critical to state how many are chronically ill/disabled, or need

constant antibiotics to function.

I suggested buying extra cards and pre-addressing them if you are able

for friends and relatives. This was just to make it more likely that

they would join the campaign.

Having a green avalanche of postcards will help the Senators and

Congresspeople who have co-sponsored the Lyme Bill gain support to have

it passed. (I hope.)

You can use a larger stamp (34 cents) on a postcard if it's more

convenient than a trip out to the post office. Please don't send index

cards-they jam the machines. An envelope and a piece of paper are fine

if you don't have postcards. I just wanted those who are too sick to

write a letter to be able to participate.

Thank you all again for your support.
