US media coverage
I find it infuriating that no major news outlet has picked up on CCSVI in the USA. Why don't we keep a running log of who we've contacted so far.
Here's mine so far:
New York Times - contacted 11/30 - no response
National Public Radio - contacted 1/5 - no response yet
Here and Now with Robin Young - contacted 1/6 - no response yet
CBS where are you!!!

Here’s my list so far. I did get an answer from Omar Khan, at Wayne State University Multiple Sclerosis Center, who stated that they were in the process of planning to conduct research into CCSVI. So I’m batting 1 answer out of 8 from my e-mail effort so far.

Hi again,
I did some searching through the treads and found references where all the places below were contacted. If people could add the email address to those not there it would be great!! I want to write ONE personal e-mail about CCSVI that I can e-mail to all the folks on the list. Then a week later, I'll format another e-mail and send it to all the folks on the list, and if that list keeps growing, all the better.
So help me out with those missing e-mail addresses, add some if you've got more and start composing your e-mail letter! Let's make this as simple as possible and keep it going!

List is growing!
Thanks SandyK, I'll keep adding the new posts to this list as they come in so we can each print it out easily. Not only that, it keeps it bumped up on the tread so others will see it and hopefully add to the list also.

You mentioned the msassociation. This is the MSSA - we've got it covered - Dr. Jack Burks posted his article in December. http://msassociation.org/news_center/ar ... sp?a=ccsvi. A follow-up article will be coming.
Thanks for putting together the list -- this is quite an undertaking!

Awesome!
The list just encourages others to add to it. It helps to see people binding together in a unified effort. This list could prove valuable in the future. It will show who was contacted, and given the opportunity to get the word out. Those that shrug it off, we'll have it documented here forever! Those that fight for the cause will gain great recognition! What U.S. news station will go down in history as the first to fight for the cause?!!

Hi Sharon,
I couldn't get your link to the MSAA to open?
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0035'
File not found
/news_center/article.asp, line 31
whyRwehere - if you would like to include the e-mail addrerss for "the white coats section of the Boston Globe (which is owned by NYT)" to the above list, the rest of us can help by adding our e-mails to their inboxes as well.
Thanks for the kudos Vonna, I tackled what looked like something I could contribute to CCSVI moving forward.
Thanks VailKin I've added your e-mail contribution and it will show next time I print the whole list.
Thanks,
Lora
