(Great stores!! I now have 5 tee shirts with the heavy slogan on the back that tells all the diseases that the WPI believes this Retrovirus may cause. I wear those tee-shirts out in public and I do get attention - which is what I want. People MUST read my back when they are waiting in line behind me - also, I'm 5'10 so a big walking billboard - buy from the stores!!!):thumbsup:

Why is it that no one is talking about the May awareness activities?
Does anyone plan to go to Washington?
Anyone plan to testify either personally or by phone.
I know there is also an option to write personal testimony which will be distributed to the community members.
I have thought about that option and started writing a letter. It's taking a lot out of me but, if I would know for sure that the members will read it (and not "filing" it in the garbage bin), I would make an effort to finish it and send it.
Is it that everyone is disillusioned and feel that nothing will be accomplished anyway?
