I've sent  email copies to my senator and congressman of the letter I faxed
today to Tommy Thompson.  Dr. Johnson at the AAP will receive a written hard
copy. We have spent several days soliciting and helping compose letters that
will go out from the local bfg coalitions and organizations.  It isn't too
late for your community to do the same.  One short letter of protest to
Sec'y Thompson can be cut and pasted onto the email forms provided by your
congressional reps.

You can secure the names and addresses of individual members of congress
by visiting the following website:

Write or fax:
Honorable Tommy G. Thompson
Secretary
Department of Health and Human Services
200 Independence Ave, SW
Washington, DC 20201
