Important action to take now

[hilly]

Please can anyone or preferably everyone do this... Hilly x

'Dear Friends:

YOU have the opportunity to take what could be the MOST IMPORTANT actions in the history of Lyme disease! President Obama is changing how the government operates and is interested in your input! Please respond this week! We can now get at the source of what many feel is the corruption involving science and Lyme disease. Your actions are immediately required in order to inform the President and his new Cabinet the serious conflicts and scientific misstatements that exist as a result of actions by various government agencies and grantees. Both agencies listed below are within the Executive Office of the President (independent of NIH, CDC, or FDA) and are developing new policy based on public input. You must act now! Do NOT share your personal response on the internet or with any organization. Anyone submitting information to the IDSA, should Federal Express a copy of the material to these two areas.

The two opportunities listed below eclipse any federal or state hearing, bill, investigations, as well as any documentaries, books, or research programs. While time is short, I am attempting to get this notice out as far and wide as possible. Please call or email everyone you know that wants to provide input into how the healthcare system has failed them and their disease and what needs to change. Our community should have an overwhelming response in order to establish Lyme disease issues as a major priority for the President’s ethical advisor.

I. Office of Science and Technology Policy - deadline 5/13/09
On March 9, 2009, President Obama issued a memorandum asking for the public’s input into his new overall policy framework to insure Scientific Integrity in all government actions. He has charged John Holdren, Director, Office of Science and Technology Policy, with the task of developing recommendations to be presented to the President.

In his memo, President Obama stated, “[T]he public must be able to trust the science and scientific process informing public policy decisions[]” and that “[i]f scientific and technological information is developed and used by the Federal Government, it should ordinarily be made available to the public.” (see The White House - Press Office - Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies 3-9-09 )

Then, President Obama directed the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, John Holdren, to develop recommendations for Presidential action. Those recommendations should guarantee scientific integrity throughout the executive branch and are based on 6 basic principles, which are listed below.

Please repond ASAP!! Deadline: May 13, 2009, 5pm. '
