Petition for President to declare May, MCS month

[Guest guest]

Dear MCS Activist,

I am not much for petitions but was impressed by the sponsorship of this

one, coming from the " MCS " Beacon of Hope at: www.ncchem.com/mcsbeacon

The petition concerns recognition of MCS by the White House through

proclamation of an awareness and education month (May). The petition

can be read at the

following URLs.

I was signatory #36 and the list has grown to over 350 names so far.

Read it and decide if you wish to add yours. You can sign with or

without making a comment. My comment was as follows:

Sir; This problem has been estimated in two seperate studies to affect

approximately 16% of the population or millions of your constituents. It

is a preventable ailment and some potential victims even have certain

biomarkers which can be identified if physicians can be educated in the

basic toxicology omitted from most medical school curriculums. Dealing

with this ailment can be a spur to new industry and development of

safeguards for existing industry. All citizens can benefit from the

lessons to be learned and persons like myself can continue to contribute

to the GNP instead of becoming a burden upon society as I have at the

age of 45. Please act and save lives. Thank you. Barbara Rubin, Locust

Valley, N.Y.
