<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I hope that everyone had the opportunity to see the fine work the ACTF has done (July 18th posting) in compiling information into a persuasive letter that we can all send to our elected officials. I would like to urge you to not only go to the website and send letters, a very quick process, but to send a letter, such as the one written below, to your e-mail contacts asking them to help in this most important effort. I sent this to 40 of my contacts. With over 3,000 of us listserv members sending out a single letter we should be able to make a real difference! THANK YOU! Dear friends and family, Many of you know that our son, Jason, was recently diagnosed with the life-long condition, Celiac disease. In short, CD is a gluten intolerence which means that ANY amount of wheat, rye or barley ingested causes intestinal damage which can lead to vast array of ilness, most commonly: malnutrition, anemia, osteoporosis and lymphoma. One of our greatest obstacles is finding foods in ordinary supermarkets that Jason can eat. Wheat comes in too many forms, flavorings and such to mention, but, believe me when I tell you it is a full time job calling companies to varify that some obscure ingredient is gluten free. WON'T YOU PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT to go to www.capwiz.com/celiac - find your Elected Officials and e-mail each of them one of the prepared letters requesting better labeling laws? WE THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time to help!! Sincerely, Cathy PS. E-mail below details letters being sent to congress. Note: I sent the text from the Task forces posting *Support summarization of posts, reply to the SENDER not the CELIAC List*
