Medical research and acceptance of the illness will develop only if our nat=
ional support
organizations which promote them are strong. Be sure to support your nation=
al groups
by, at the least, contributing annual dues. And when your national group ca=
lls for letters
and phone calls to be sent to public officials and media, please get your f=
amily and
friends to assist you in responding to those requests. We may be able to ma=
ke greater
achievements if we act in unison.

In the USA, the largest source of research money comes from government allo=
cations.
Therefore, contacting your Congressman about the importance of CFS/CFIDS
research is very important.
