If you have not sent letters, please do it now. Signing the petition is nice, but it is not the same as your government rep or the President getting an email from you.

Every email counts. Every email is a tap on the shoulder of your rep that says "Hey, you need to deal with this."

Here are simple instructions: http://www.prohealth.com/ME-CFS/lib...ce=EM100913C&utm_medium=em&utm_campaign=MECFS

And in case you need it, here is the letter from 50 experts. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/89158245/Case Definition Letter final 10-25-13.pdf

It is not hard to do. Just copy the sample letter and make few changes. Or as I did, copy the sample letter and make a slew of changes.

Do it now! Get it over with! Help save us all!

It's along the same lines as everything else in this section where we are posting (Institute of Medicine (IOM) Government Contract). We are trying to get it canceled because it circumvents the expert definition that has received nothing but support in this community. You can read more about it in this section here, or a shorter explanation here: http://www.prohealth.com/ME-CFS/lib...ce=EM100913C&utm_medium=em&utm_campaign=MECFS

Sorry. I didn't pay attention to the section it was in.

I already emailed and signed stuff. It's on every forum out there.
