Hi, Maryann, and hi ALL other 1,741 members(at last count)of this

board!

 

Members, I apologize for the place in which I SCREAM in this message,

but once in a while, things NEED to be SCREAMED. I do not, and I am

sure you do not, want to end up dis-eased, decrepit and in an " old

age home " one day because not enough of us told Congress where to get

off when they began to think about restricting our access to health

supplements! i do not, and I am sure you do not, want to see a sick

loved one die because all that were available to him for treatment

were harmful and ineffective pharmaceuticals and other mainstream

treatment.

 

Maryann, you wrote: " hope these sites never go down "

 

Well, " hope " is wonderful, and you meant it kindly, but " hope " is

just is not enough.

 

You also wrote: " don't trust doctors at all "

 

Well, yeah! Most of us don't, and from what Mark posted recently, it

looks as if they are giving us a HUGE reason to trust them still

less, in that they are lobbying Congress to enact laws that will

greatly restrict people's access to vitamins, supplements and even to

sites like this!

 

I have found that there is very little discussion about topics and

suggestions posted on the board, and that is fine since that appears

to be the nature of this board---a place devoted more to getting

information out than to chatting about it. Now here comes the scream:

 

BUT GOOD HEAVENS, I CERTAINLY WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT EVEN THOUGH

THERE MAY NOT BE RESPONSES ON THE BOARD FROM MEMBERS SAYING, " OK,

MARK---I'VE DONE IT, AND THANKS! " , THAT EVERY ONE OF OUR 1,741

MEMBERS WILL TAKE THE SCANT 15 SECONDS IT TAKES TO ACCESS THE LINK

MARK GAVE AND TO SEND OFF THAT LETTER ABOUT NOT LIMITING ACCESS TO

HEALTH SUPPLEMENTS TO ALL THEIR REPRESENTATIVES! IF WE DON'T TAKE THE

TIME TO DO THAT, WE DESERVE WHATEVER THE AMA AND CONGRESS DISHES OUT

TO US! LET'S GET OFF OUR DUFFS AND DO IT NOW!!!

 

Here again is the link Mark provided:

 

http://capwiz.com/nnfa/issues/alert/?alertid=4089036

 

I further hope we will all FORWARD Mark's message to any and all

persons we think would be willing to send the letter to their own

represenatives.

 

If anyone does not understand where I am coming from with this

message, please REFERENCE messages 20785 and 20797.

 

Thank you again for this board, Frank!

 

Blessed wishes to all,

HELLO...

I'm MaryKaye

Expect to hear a bit from me from time to time.

I have just signed the email to my congress (opposite of " PRO " gress) people.

So did my ex-husband who uses my address as his voting address...although he

doesn't know it yet.

 

Having just joined...I do need to get to the board and se what's up. However

I have already posted the link on my HCV site...marked URGENT!!!

Will pass this info on to my entire address book. Includes 500+ addy's..

some groups, some individuals.

MUST GET THE WORD OUT.

I'll call Feinstein and Boxer next week, Diane may not speak to me after the

way literally screached at her after the medicare fiasco.

Yes, I am an activist...and they know me.

Unfortunately my representative is Doolittle and he lives up to his name.

Have emails to send..people to notify.

bye for now

Excellent, Mary! Many thanks and God bless you!

 

I think it helps us all to actually see responses on the board to

something this important.

 

If Frank does not mind, I may re-post my message periodically.

Hello all,

 

Thank you so much for your support. I am sorry to sound alarmist, but I am

truly worried about this situation. I really appreciate every letter to the

representatives we can get, (note I did not say to " OUR " representatives as

they seldom seem to represent my interests at least). I was very amused by

the comment about Mr. Dolittle, perhaps we should all insist our

representatives change their names to the same ... or perhaps ... Mr.

" specialinterestnotmyconstituents " . I will try to re-write a better letter

that can be easily pasted to re-post in other groups and forums to make it

easier to spread the word. Thank you " Breathdeepnow " so much for catching

my mistake with the links and your support. I had posted that bad message

with the screwed up links to several boards and you pointing that out

allowed me to send a correction to them.

 

My sincerest gratitude.

 

Mark
