The following is from the NY State complementary health project website.
Please visit them at
http://www.nynaturalhealthproject.org/ht/action.html . I believe there is
still time to pass these bills to ensure the right to choose complementary
health care in New York.

Lobbying efforts are not tax deductible, but your contributions are
critically important
and will reap long-term health benefits.

i would also suggest making some personal phone calls. i called vivian cook in albany
she spoke with me for almost 20". these people want to hear from us. but more importantly,
they want to hear from joe and jane consumer. get this info to you patients and out to your
networking organizations.

one thing i did was ask people for permission to use their names & e-mails to ensure they would, at the very
least, sign in thru the web site listed in allen's post. when you sign them in, they will receive a
confirmatory post.
