Guest guest Posted May 23, 2002 Report Share Posted May 23, 2002 Please if anyone close to me is going I want to go...I live in Lititz PA. But my husband can't go..but my children and I would love to support this. I am having to pay out of pocket for the medical bills too....I think this is unfair and unjust. I ache to be there and be another head count. I am pretty good at drawing and stuff and have pretty good penmenship so I would be willing to make signs....Although my spelling stinks...And I use to write in our school newspaper..I am the one who would write the poetry and cover club events and stuff...I even got to cover a 911 recording...if you remember the show...My mom was the star I guess you could say...lol...so I had an advantage. She is an EMT...I was at one point to ...was planing on getting my Paramedic degree..but no I had to get sick...lol...also became a Mother which has always been my biggest dream...so at least I have that to be very proud of. Anyway let me know how I can help....I am a willing hand. I don't dare drive since I am a scardy cat in big traffic...also I would get so lost. Remember I was an Idahoan...lol....I was even a russet....lol...that was our school mascot. It seems very funny now expecially since in High school I was so proud that we were different than anyone else....everyone else was cougars, tigers and so forth...I think the only mascot that would be worse was the Trujans...I think there is a condom..lol...that is called that. We go in today to the doctor to discuss 's treatments. I will let you guys know how it goes later... Okay thanks....hope I can help. Cyntha Landon Lititz PA....... positive PCR...Myesha and Celeste too have Lyme [ ] Action Alert with Transportation and Hotel Info TIME TO PROTEST SENATOR HANNON Although we know all you wonderful people have sent hundreds or thousand of letters to Senator Hannon, WE HAVE STILL NOT HEARD BACK FROM HIM!! He has refused to act on any of our requests for help in the past couple of years. He is now refusing to meet with us in-person to discuss Bill A11330, the GOTTFRIED/LENTOL/MILLER/MAYERSOHN REFORM BILL. The bill would give due process rights to physicians in dealing with the OPMC. Insurance companies would no longer have the luxury of using an unrestrained OPMC to revoke the license of doctors they feel are costing them too much moey Because HANNON is the Chair of the Senate Health Committee, without his support this bill will not pass. If this legislative session ends (mid-June) without passing this bill, the OPMC can use the 6 months before the legislature reconvenes to start another witch hunt against ALL OUR LLMDs. The OPMC has already shown its arrogance and determination to harass our LLMD's by appealing the favorable hearing panel decision on Dr. B last November, right on the eve of the Albany Assembly hearing! None of us want to have to fight that fight again, so we must get legislative reform that puts restraints on an OPMC that has been clearly out of control. WE MUST PROTEST IN FRONT OF SENATOR HANNON'S L.I. OFFICE ON MAY 29th. We know everyone is exhausted and sick, but we cannot permit Senator Hannon to continue his contemptuous dismissal of the Lyme community. We must get his support for this bill. For this protest there is the likelihood of major media coverage, so a big turnout will put much pressure on Senator Hannon who is running for re-election in November. PROTEST INFO: WHO: ALL Lyme disease patients from ALL STATES, their friends and family should attend. Attendance of New Yorkers is particularly important. WHERE: Outside of 1600 Avenue, Westbury. LI. NY. WHEN: Wednesday, May 29th at 12:30 pm. BRING: Yourself. If you can, also bring friends, family and protest signs about Lyme disease, or supporting OPMC Reform, or protesting Hannon's indifference to us. If you are a medical professional, it would also be great if you could come in uniform or otherwise indicate your profession. DIRECTIONS TO HANNON'S 1600 Ave " 1-800 Flowers " Six Story Business Building Corner of Merrick Avenue FROM NORTHWEST: (NYC and Westchester) Long Island Expressway to Exit 38- Northern State Parkway Northern State Pkwy to Exit 31- Meadowbrook Parkway South Meadowbrook Pkwy to Exit M3-W ( Ave) Follow exit ramp to right (there are 2 right turning lanes, need to be in the left one " Eisenhower Park " ), proceed 1/10 mile to traffic light and turn left onto Ave. Building is 3/10 mile on the right. Visible from Exit. FROM NORTHEAST: (North Suffolk) Long Island Expressway to Exit 42- Northern State Parkway Northern State Pkwy to Exit 31- Meadowbrook Parkway South (right 2 lanes become Meadowbrook). Meadowbrook Pkwy to Exit M3-W ( Ave) Follow exit ramp to right (there are 2 right turning lanes, need to be in the left one " Eisenhower Park " ), proceed 1/10 mile to traffic light and turn left onto Ave. Building is 3/10 mile on the right.

Meadowbrook Pkwy to Exit M3-W ( Ave) Follow exit ramp to right, proceed 1/10 mile to traffic light and turn left onto Ave. Building is 3/10 mile on the right. Visible from Exit. PARKING: It would probably be best to drop passengers off in front of Hannon's building. Then continue on and less than a quarter of a mile on the right there is a parking lot for Hoffritz and Farberware factory outlets. We will have shuttling back and forth from the parking spots to the protest site.

Lia will be coordinating transportation from that area to help people to get to the protest. Kay is looking to coordinate a bus from Peabody, Mass. If interested, contact her at: b10g7@... Interested in going fromAbington, PA or the the Wawa between PA and NJ Turnpikes, contact Tom at 215-886-9493 or tbharbo@... HOTEL: Nassau County Hotels are very expensive in general, but the Econo Lodge in Hicksville offers rooms at $89 a night and is only 3 miles from Hannon's office. The phone number is 516-433-3900.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2002 Report Share Posted May 23, 2002 , Wonderful news that you and your children would like to come for the protest. There is a charted bus coming from your area. Go to www.lymeinfo.net for details. Hope the pick-up site is near enough to you to work out. If not, let us know, and we will see if we can help you find an alternate solution. Also great news that you may be able to make some signs. We would especially like a series of signs that reproduce the text of the resolution that was passed. A copy of that is also available at lymeinfo.net. The idea would be to put one paragraph on each sign. Then a group of patients could stand together holding them in sequence. Please let us know if you would be able to take this on. I am sorry that you have had so much difficulty as a Lyme patient. This is an excellent way to make life better for ourselves. As you know, what happens in New York effects all of us. Looking forward to meeting you and your children in Westbury, Long Island, New York, May 29th, 12:30 p.m. cws cws > Please if anyone close to me is going I want to go...I live in Lititz PA.
