I have seen these letters from state reps from all over the country and what aggravates me about them all is that they try to educate their constituents not only on their views but about anything that will support their views. It shouldn't be like that. Opinions should be developed through the results of legitimate scientific inquiry. Also, the AMA pisses me off even more. I am surprised it wasn't mentioned in Ms. Schwartz's letter to you. I would write her a rebuttal. Even if you don't think it will help. You can educate her.
