Per the letter below addressed to Senator Lamar Alexander I sent a copy of the comment file collected by this petition. Signatures and comments from around the globe describe the horror associated with this life altering infection misclassified as a simple nuisance disease. Senator Alexander is the Chairman of a similar committee Ted Kennedy was part of when he launched an investigation into the CDC’s Tuskegee syphilis experiment. I am asking everyone’s help in moving this initiative along with a telephone campaign respectfully demanding a congressional investigation into the mishandling of Lyme disease. For the FULL MONTH of January please call Senator Alexander at the following locations. I have provided a short one minute script so as to allow for as many calls as possible. EVERYONE WHO SIGNED THIS PETITION NEEDS TO PARTICIPATE Voicemail is available at every location so this is a 24/7 initiative and phone calls from every country around the globe are welcome.You may follow up with a letter to these addresses: Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions 428 Senate Dirksen Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Phone: 202-224-5375 Washington, DC Office 455 Dirksen Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Phone: (202) 224-4944 Chattanooga Office Joel E. Soloman Federal Building 900 Georgia Avenue, #260 Chattanooga, TN 37402 Phone: (423) 752-5337 One minute script: My name is: _________ calling from: _________ I am calling Senator Alexander today respectfully requesting a congressional investigation of the CDC, IDSA and American Lyme Disease Foundation for the mishandling of Lyme disease. The vast majority of Lyme patients are being misdiagnosed due to faulty and misleading antibody tests while the CDC continues to overlook abundant scientific evidence of chronic infection. We have been dealing with an antibiotic resistant superbug responsible for life altering consequences. Post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome is simply a fabricated medical condition disguising treatment failure. It is time to expose the truth behind the deliberate mishandling of Lyme disease and focus on finding better treatment options for myself (or) my sick: (mother, father, daughter, son. relative, loved one, etc). Please support a congressional investigation into the CDC’s deliberate mismanagement of Lyme disease. Thank you! ___________________________________________ Letter sent to Senator Alexander: Dec 7, 2015 Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions 428 Senate Dirksen Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Attn: Senator Lamar Alexander, Chairman Dear Senator Alexander, I am the Chage.org petition organizer calling for a congressional investigation of the CDC, IDSA and American Lyme Disease Foundation. https://www.change.org/p/the-us-senate-calling-for-a-congressional-investigation-of-the-cdc-idsa-and-aldf Over 31,500 individuals from across America and twenty one countries have signed the petition calling for a congressional investigation into the deliberate and well orchestrated mishandling of Lyme disease. The petition has collected over 500 pages of heart wrenching comments from disabled Lyme patients around the globe. Senator Kelly Ayotte’s office here in New Hampshire recommended contacting the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions: From Senator Ayotte’s office: “You may also wish to contact the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP). The Chairman of the HELP Committee is Senator Alexander and the Ranking Member is Senator Murray.” Senator Ted Kennedy was on a similar committee when he launched an investigation into the CDC’s Tuskegee syphilis experiment. http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/10/01/guatemala.syphilis.tuskegee/ We are dealing with a life-altering infection misclassified as a simple nuisance disease which has hindered treatment options leaving countless Lyme patients disabled with nowhere to turn. This misclassification has been a thirty year deception to the American public as this epidemic rages out of control. If you are finding this difficult to believe I suggest you read through the petition’s comment file in the attached DVD to gain an understanding of the magnitude of the problem. Sincerely, Carl Tuttle Hudson, NH 03051 Three additional letters were sent to Senator Alexander: Lyme Disease Diagnosis: Serology https://www.change.org/p/the-us-senate-calling-for-a-congressional-investigation-of-the-cdc-idsa-and-aldf/u/14407142 Scientific misconduct or criminal offense? https://www.change.org/p/the-us-senate-calling-for-a-congressional-investigation-of-the-cdc-idsa-and-aldf/u/14006106 Phillip Baker and the 21st Century Plague https://www.change.org/p/the-us-senate-calling-for-a-congressional-investigation-of-the-cdc-idsa-and-aldf/u/14500086
