Re: Letter from my Congressman

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

It's again. I got a letter yesterday

that I just had to share. As an advocate for the

Arthritis Foundation, I sent letters to my congressmen

about my arthritis & urging then to support more money

for research.

Since I'm in Virginia, my Congressmen is

Cantor. He wrote me back and said that he felt that

many services for people with arthritis were underused

and didn't warrant increased funding but he would

" keep my opinions in mind. " Ugh! I'm going to write

him again.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Take care,

The main thing I have been sending them is news articles and scientific

articles. Some of the articles I send them are posted by KC on Sickbuildings.

I have also sent them information about how my family was harmed by toxic mold

and how we lost everything we owned and how our insurance company has treated

us.

I have been sending articles 2-3 times a month (and sometimes 2-3 times a week)

over the past couple years. I also send some of the articles to my state

insurance department and to various media outlets.

I am going to keep doing it until something changes!!

Re: [] Letter from my congressman

Can you give us an example of your letter to your congressman? That may be

helpful to many others here so they can send one as well.

Thanks,

Sue

I have been sending information to my U.S. senators and representatives. I

received the following letter today from one of my congressmen. I just wanted

to share this so others can see that it is

When you send the congressman/woman an article and they send a

response on letterhead, why not take those responses from the congress

person to the local newspaper. It supports your credibility. I found

it more effective to 'start small' with the media - so you can build

your credibility, methodically

I am building a very good file of information. It will be put to good use at

the right time.
