Cort: Thank you so much for such a strong and well written thread. We are almost there and have over 970 members on Facebook alone. We are getting donations in small amounts but those donations do add up and we are grateful for every single donation we get.
As Tina has said above, there is a great deal going on behind the scenes now with some rather talented people working hard. I can tell you that a woman who managed over 40 web develpers and graphic artists is getting the new website done and it will be quite professional and draw many more people into this ONGOING cause.
Let me also second Tina's idea that this is a patient driven campaign and the patient's voice will be heard. So please, to every person reading this, send the Team or Tina your ideas for the AD, text, slogans, etc. This is YOUR message to the government and the public.
We do have this incredible opportunity to really hit the ball out of the park and ensure that large groups of people are made aware of CFS/ME as well as the research being done on retroviruses. This is our big chance to really get the information out as we the sick know it and not the misinformation of the likes of the CDC and others fighting against us.
Please hit the Causes page, join, give us your ideas and if possible, donate what you can without causing yourself financial problems. We don't want people donating if it damages them but instead, would be grateful for their ideas, input and involvement.
So again, thank you very much Cort for an incredibly well written message. I know the large Team working on this campaign greatly appreciates this effort from that wonderful brain and heart of yours.
