Hi Cathy, nice to see you posting.  It shows how much this issue stirs us
when long-time readers feel the need to speak up.
 While it might be convenient to have one letter that everyone could sign,
it is generally thought that individual letters have more impact in
situations like this.  They don't need to be long, there just need to be a
lot of them.  It makes more of an impression if lots of people take the time
to write a short letter than if thousands merely click on a hyperlink to
register a pre-formed opinion.  Your concerns are clearly stated in your
Lactnet post.  You can use it as a starting point for your own letter and
your sincerity and real concern will come through loud and clear.

Rachel Myr, hoping Melissa sends her post on what's the fuss as a
letter to IBLCE, but I am afraid they would take it at face value unless she
wrote in every other sentence 'This is a JOKE!'  And I am having fun
imagining what kind of coupons would be in that gift bag - maybe one for a
discount on the Gambles Anonymous Fundraising Lottery??
