Please give me just a minute of your time.  I do not want to intrude on
your Newsgroup.  I, and another Grandma, have been working very hard
for the last several years to get the Florida legislature to pass the
Infant Eye Care Bill (HB1055). The Bill mandates an infant eye dilation
exam before babies leave the hospital; and at the 6-8 week and 6-9
month well-baby exams. It is a simple test that would cost 10¢ and
take 10 seconds of the doctors time to accomplish.

We have been fighting for 4 years to get this bill instituted against
what we believe to be the legislative influence of lobbyists with a lot
more money and resources than we have. Comprehensive details about the
bill may be found here:

I need the your help to spread the word about this very important
legislation. First, we just need people to fill out the Contact
Legislators form on that website. MOST importantly, we need people in
the state of Florida who would be willing to print out a hand full of
our Flyers and paste them on bulletin boards and public places.  I am
hoping that you will help, because we need it ASAP.

Take Care,  Sharon  Lane
