illness ?
Please think about it... You or your child have now been reduced to an adjectivce in the gramatical lexicon of this society...
Are you Happy to let this continue ? Or will you Help and Be Part of the Solution that Encourages the "Press + Media" to "Actully THINK" before they spew out words and phrases that are not accurate and actually do harm to Millions ?
Time for Phone Calls, and emails folks !! PLEASE THX
♥from Robert Miller~ another ME/cfs long time patient...
" I have been speaking with Rob at programing of Face the Nation, who has assured me that he would pass on to John Dickerson who made the comment, that ME/CFS patients are offended. Rob did give an apology over the phone and we agreed that Mr. Dickerson had no idea of what he was saying and his ignorance of ME/CFS would be the reason why. I also filed a complaint with CBS corporate headquarters. I should get some reply Monday.
I encourage all to write emails and send them at least once daily, until we get a proper response. Also call the number listed 1-202-457-4481 and if you get a live person, just tell them you are a chronic fatigue syndrome patient and you were offended by John Dickerson's remarks on Dec. 4, 2011 on the "Face the Nation program". If you get a machine please leave the same message. Send emails to
"John Dickerson"
and it will be forwarded to Mr. Dickerson. "

"Face the Nation" transcript: December 4, 2011
JOHN DICKERSON (CBS News Political Director): Well, it's like there's a chronic fatigue syndrome about-- about Romney in the Republican Party. I mean, the-- the voters just do not want to move to him. And what's extraordinary about the Gingrich rise is both that he's come back to-- to live here. But it says something about Romney's weakness. If Gingrich is the nominee, and the fact that he's ahead, he is going against two fundamental tendencies of Republican politics in recent history that we had the Tea Party which doesn't like establishment politicians. That's what Gingrich is. Social conservatives, another major force in Republican politics used to say the moral character of the candidates was fundamental to their being President. Well, we know Gingrich has a past. If he is the nominee, he runs in the face of those two major trends of Republican politics. PLEASE Stay Polite and let them know from your heart how this made you feel...
