Boston City Council Hearing

December 13, 2004

Dear Friends,

I truly believe that what happened at the hearing really will and has already

made a difference. I am truly grateful to , Katrine s, Dr.

Simone Sommer, Ginny Lane, KC, Sharon Kramer and others for working so hard to

get people there and get the word out. It made a huge impression for local

politicians to hear from people outside of Massachusetts who suffer from all

the medical problems that their local constituents register. The gloves are off

and the sleeves get rolled up!

What an honor to meet so many people I have just known from this chatboard

and to rekindle friendships with those we have met in Washington DC and other

settings. I kept saying to Janet s " I can't believe I am actually meeting

GingerSnap! " What a doll she is!

I would write more, but I too am sick from being in the building. I am

slayed by it. I do know that the doctors in the room took note of it. The

condition of the building was raised in the hearing thanks to Dr. Sommer.

What we did was so important to reaching a solution to this problem. I thank

all the groups who sent along Mission Statements to include in the packet

that went to the Boston City Council, the medical/scientific evidence, and most

of all, the compelling, heartbreaking stories sent by people of great courage

and the almost 900 names in the petition that had been previously sent to

congress through the efforts to Sharon Kramer and MD Awareness Week.

As I have stated before, I know it is a good omen that this happened in

Boston because Revere was the first Public Health Officer in the United

States!
