Edit: the email address in the article below doesn't seem to work, @RivkaRivka.
Rivka Solomon did a stellar job on Thursday in getting Senator Ed Markey to offer to be a champion for ME in the US Senate, to put pressure on the NIH to get more funding.
She wants people to write immediately to thank him, to apply positive pressure to keep his enthusiasm up and hold him to his promise.
Details in this article (including some text for you to send if you like) and here's Rivka in action.
Can't hurt to write from overseas either, I'm thinking!
Edit: It will carry extra weight if you're from Massachusetts, because you'll be his constituent! But I've written to him, even from the UK. Let's let him know what a big deal this is, and how grateful we are.
