Here is a copy of an e-mail sent to me regarding a petition drive by one ADD online support site. It is a great site for any of you with ADD. Unfortunately the date for signing the petition has passed, but it is online for anyone to read if so interested.Sara T.

Subject: We NEED You/ADHD Resolution Update
To: ADD@MCLIST.ABOUT.COMHi,
Forgive me for neglecting the newsletter format for this
message. As always, I appreciate the support and attention
that you give to http://ADD.About.com. THANK YOU!OUR RESOLUTION
So far, there are 754 names attached to the ADD/ADHD
People's Resolution. I want to thank each of you who have
signed. You can see the updated document at
http://add.about.com/library/weekly/aa051800a.htmIf you have not yet signed, please consider putting your
name to this page. The easiest way to do that is to follow
this link http://add.about.com/library/weekly/aa051800a.htm
and click through to the ADD Forum thread. However, if for
some reason you do not wish to do that, you can still sign
on by sending an email with your name to me at
add.guide@about.comIt is VERY important that you include your real name in your
signature. Names like "BobsMom" cannot be used.This Resolution will be delivered to Rep. Bob Schaffer,
author of the bill that initiated the Congressional
Subcommittee Hearings about Ritalin use, and to Rep. Michael
Castle, of the Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Youth and
Families, who chaired these hearings.I would love to have at least 1,000 names on the page when
the bill is delivered to Schaffer and Castle on Tuesday.SPECIAL THANKS TO SANDY MAYNARD
Sandy Maynard - http://sandymaynard.com - lives in the D.C.
area and is going to hand deliver the final version of the
resolution with all signatures on Tuesday morning. This
gives us more time to gather signatures before the 5:00 PM
EST deadline. BUT WE DON'T HAVE FOREVER! If you are going to
sign, do it now.Please.
I have a meeting scheduled in Colorado with Schaffer on
Thursday to discuss this issue with him. If you have
comments that you would like to have included in the
discussion, then please include them in the post with your
signature in the forum.It's time to either put up or shut up. You decide.
Bob
