Thank-you for your support of recognition of MCS as a physiological
condition. We ask for your help in one final show of support. Our
letters petitioning for recognition of MCS to the AMA, CDC, NIEHS, and
WHO have all been received by the agencies. We would now like to ask
the community to respond by contacting each agency to show your
support and ask for recognition by telephone, fax, mail, or e-mail.
Nothing will get attention like lots of calls. If you are willing and
able to help, I've provided all the contact information and a sample
script below for your convenience. I've tried to include "free" ways
to contact the organizations as much as possible via 800 numbers and
e-mail, however if you are able a printed letter would have some
impact as well. Thank you in advance for your support. We are still
accepting signatures for the accompanying community petition as well.
