Lyme disease protest North Sydney on Friday 14 September 2012
The following has been sent to Transition Bellingen by the LymeLinks support networks ,
Many of us would like to attend this Friday's protest, but cannot due to poor health, distance etc. But why not have your say anyway! Attached is a sample letter that you may wish to use, or make up your own comments. Please send it on Friday, or as close as you can, for maximum impact. Protest from a distance using the wonders of modern technology!
Here is the link to "Letter to the Minister" on NSW Health website. Simply copy and paste the text from the sample letter into the "Comment" section, or write your own comments.
You may also wish to do an email to a few politicians:
Coffs Harbour MPs
NSW Premier
Deputy Premier NSW
Again, simply copy and paste the email addresses into the "To" section of a new email, then copy and paste the text of the sample letter into the body of the email, modify/personalise the text as required, and press "send".
Please everyone take a couple of minutes to do this, and forward this to all your friends and supporters.
Together we can be the change that we need!

I have Lyme Disease and co-infections, and am not able to

I care for a person who has Lyme Disease and co-infections,
and am not able to attend the Lyme Protest Rally at NSW Health, North Sydney on
14 September 2012. I do, however, intend
for my voice to be heard via this letter.
I demand that:
· Health Service Departments acknowledge the evidence
that Lyme Disease and co-infections exist in Australia.
· Resources be made available to improve Lyme Disease
and co-infections testing procedures in Australia to international standards.
· Resources be made available for increased research
into tick-borne and other vector-borne illnesses in Australia.
· Medical professionals receive training in Lyme Disease
and co-infections diagnosis and treatment protocols to an international
standard.
· Patients suffering Lyme Disease and co-infections
receive appropriate, ethical and respectful treatment in Australian public
hospitals.
· Lyme Disease and co-infections be made notifiable to
all Australian Government Health Services Departments.
People are suffering, and we
need your support and action immediately.
Yours faithfully
(your name and address)
