Below is an important message from the Lyme Action Network:
TO: Lyme Action Network Friends
FROM: Chris Fisk, President
Below, please find information about a national effort to pass legislation helpful to the victims of tick-borne diseases. Advocates and organizations from around the country have worked very hard to get to this point, and now we need grassroots help to push this through. We were successful in the House of Representatives — now we need to get this bill, (S. 1503, the Lyme and Tick-Borne Disease Prevention, Education, and Reseach Act of 2015) through the Senate. We urge you to please participate in this critically important national effort.
The bill can be reviewed here: https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/senate-bill/1503
Thank you!

Dear Friends and Colleagues:
Attached is an appeal inviting people from all across the country to contact their U.S. Senators requesting their support for Senate bill S.1503, which provides help for the victims of Lyme and other Tick-borne diseases (TBD).
The House of Representatives recently passed their bill (H.R.6), and we now need to prevail upon our Senators to ensure that the Senate version of the bill includes provisions for Lyme and TBD.
Please join us in circulating this message far and wide. Our goal is to have this email cover the country, and ask colleagues, patients, advocates, physicians, families, and friends to SPEAK UP about the desperate need to find solutions to Lyme disease.
Each of our 100 U.S. Senators needs to be contacted and each needs to recognize the urgency of this issue in their state and in this country. Senators from across the U.S. should be able to say, “YES, I’ve heard about this issue from my constituents” not “I haven’t heard about this from my constituents, so it is not important to them.”
We have momentum with the House bill passing, and we have a short window of opportunity. PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO YOUR FAMILIES, FRIENDS, AND COLLEAGUES AROUND THE COUNTRY. ASK THEM TO USE THIS LINK FOR MORE INFORMATION AND TO REQUEST THIS ATTENTION FROM THEIR SENATORS.
Let your voice be heard! Write to your senators today encouraging them to support S.1503 by clicking on this link:

— Please circulate this widely. —-
Thank you,
Coalition for Federal Lyme Disease Legislation
