PANDORA and other non-profit organizations have joined together with a Facebook Cause page for a public awareness campaign. This will be a direct to the public campaign of ads and PSAs.

We are working now on the first ad. Some of this is strategy, so I can't tell what the topics or angle will be.

I guess I can't comment on other people's PR now that I am involved. I have crossed the line.

There are doers and there are complainers. I am now a doer. (Complainers are valuable too as they help doers to do better.)

We have longed for someone to speak boldly in a public way about the situation that leaves us forgotten, ignored, and misunderstood. Now, it is finally happening.

This is not about blame. This is about awareness of the circumstances and the effects they cause and what needs to be done to correct the situation.

Thank you Tina. I'm happy you're involved! You know how PR works and do a great job of explaining it to the rest if us.

Hi Tina,

Thank you for taking this on. I'm a bit of a Facebook novice. I have a page but ALL that it says it that I created it so that in a hundred years when archeologist are rummaging around trying to understand more about who we were, my existence will have at least been noted. That's it. Do I need a Facebook page to join the Public Awareness Campaign? If so, I have a little house cleaning to do!

Please consider using my video on CFS as a PSA--this is what I made it for.

Doers doing for other doers to do more. :Retro tongue::Retro tongue::Retro tongue::Retro smile:

Thank you for your support. In just one day, we have over $300.

If we keep up this momentum, in 30 days, we would have $9,000. Just think of the advertising we could do with that.

I did do the math right, didn't I?

Tina
