This is not for the Orlando "event", this is something entirely different. Please folks, for those of us with Morgellons/Fiber disease/Lyme all of it...this can be addressed. There is no "in person" interview, you can send your fabulous videos of these moving fibers, and tell them in your email this is coming out of your skin. If you have "video" of this actually coming out of your skin, that will be BEST. Send pictures of your lesions, and PLEASE tell of the living HELL you are experiencing within your body. We need to PUSH...this is another opportunity for Morgellons to be seen and heard. This is ABC TV and he wants to know about "health care"...and WE MUST TELL HIM HOW THERE ARE NO DOCTORS FOR THIS EPIDEMIC also. Thank you all!

Big round of applause for Tonisue.
Seems so strange you folks with good quality videos are not responding with enthusiasm. Makes me wonder why so shy.
Anyway, hopefully when more people find your post this evening you'll have loads of responses.
Thanks, Susan. More excellent work on your part.

one thing i think to remember is... i think that once you send them your video... they assume ALL copyright of it, so that you actually CAN'T use it afterwards..
so thats what people usually have to keep in mind.
i have a piece of video you'll see in a few hours.. that i'm not sure whether i want to relinquish my rights of.
but i'd definately like to send them some other vids. thanks so much for the heads up tonie.

Sid, thank you! I'm only trying to help US ALL with a vehicle and we're gettin em. This is another "boat" to get us OFF OUR SECLUDED ISLAND so if we all really want heard, we've got more ways to go to be heard, cause that is the key. Everyone that said they'd do marches down the street or riots hahaha ;D in front of the White House, well..this is much easier! And Prevenge, I'm not sure about that...I will find out because we don't know that for sure or do you? PS...just now I wrote to find out, so we can be sure. But I know many have LOTS of videos...so to give up one for exposure's sake...I would think that might be worth it "if" that's correct that they keep it etc. I'll let you know as soon as I do.

Jose and Kathy's video should be a HUGE HIT!
Knock em dead, folks.
Thanks to all who respond and feel free to share what you have.
It will be interesting to learn about the copyright thing, but this is definitely a great opportunity.
Don't miss it!

To whoever may be concerned about allowing ABC to use their photos or videos..... relax. I just read thru' the licensing agreement posted on the ABC site. Basically, it says that you (the Lincensor) are of legal age and that the footage (whether it be photo or video) that you're submitting is also "legal"... meaning you didn't steal it from someone else, etc. And you give ABC (the Lincensee) permission to use it as they see fit. There's absolutely nothing in the wording that says you're giving up ownership, nor that you can never use it privately in the future. So, don't worry. This is a non-issue. For those of you who can read legalease, I've copied and pasted it below. Please kindly advise if I misread it.
American Broadcasting Companies, Inc. LICENSE AGREEMENT
1. Licensor hereby grants to Licensee a non-exclusive license to use in the manner and for the purpose described herein, still pictures and digital video files and such other materials as may be submitted by Licensor hereunder (collectively, “the Footage”). Licensor hereby grants to Licensee the right to include the Footage (as provided by Licensor and/or as edited by Licensee) as well as the name of the Licensor (and copyright owner, if different than Licensor) in all programming and on the websites produced by ABC News, including updates, repeats, re-airs and in context promotions, and in promos released to non-ABC News programs and programs produced by ABC NewsOne for Licensee’s affiliates, partners, and licensees, as those programs are distributed worldwide, in all media now known and hereafter conceived or created, including home video and DVD and Internet and broadband distribution. Licensee acknowledges that it will receive no compensation for granting the rights herein, and that consideration for this agreement shall be the showing of the video in ABC News programming should the material be chosen for use.
2. In connection with the Footage, Licensor warrants and represents for the benefit of Licensee that:
a. He or she is 18 years of age or older, and has the right to enter into and perform this Agreement and grant Licensee all the rights granted herein in that it either owns the Footage or has a license to control the exhibition and distribution rights thereto; and
b. there are no agreements, nor shall Licensor enter into any agreements, which would prevent the fulfillment of this Agreement or impair or conflict with the rights granted hereunder; and
c. neither the Footage, nor the production or use of the Footage or any element of the Footage hereunder, will infringe on any trademark, copyright or trade name of, violate any right of privacy or any other right of another person, firm, corporation or other entity; and
d. nothing illegal was done to acquire the Footage and there are currently no disputes or lawsuits concerning ownership of the Footage; and
e. the events in the Footage that purport to be factual have not been staged or altered and/or the Footage depicts the events and persons as described to Licensee by Licensor.
3. Licensor agrees at all times to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Licensee, its related subsidiary and parent companies, and affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, caused by or arising from: (i) any misrepresentation concerning the Footage or elements thereof by the Licensor; and/or (ii) any distribution or other authorized use of the Footage or elements thereof by the Licensee; and/or (iii) the breach of any warranty or representation made by Licensor hereunder, including but not limited to any claim relating to rights in the Footage (i.e. claims of copyright, unfair competition, breach of contract, fraud, misappropriation, invasion of privacy, and right of publicity).
4. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to obligate Licensee to broadcast or use the Footage.
5. This Agreement and all collaterally related issues shall be governed by New York law. Federal and state courts situated in New York, New York (i.e., Manhattan) shall have sole jurisdiction and venue to resolve disputes hereunder and the parties hereto irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction and venue (and waive any claim that such forum is inconvenient). This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties, supersedes all prior agreements on this subject matter and cannot be modified orally.

I'd do both.
We are at a place in time where we either take every opportunity of someone willing to look and listen, or we do nothing. Treatment and acknowledgement by all doctors does lie in our hands - 100% whether we want that responsibility or not, that's the truth.
Let your will and desire of wanting to rid Morgellons disease be your guide as well as with your letter of telling the truth of what this has done to you, and how CDC hasn't even been able to identify what this horror of an infection/disease is...yet let alone any treatment, and how it IS spreading and has to every state in America. Those points too are critical in that you are not alone with this...they need to know that too.

I am awaiting a response from here in the Midwest from a news channel.
Have to wait for her to investigate.................. but with all this going on,
she will find out soon that she doesn't want to be the LAST reporter to report THIS
EMERGING SYSTEMIC disease affecting the world.
I am praying for all to work out Positively.

That's great Kmarie!
When we all accept that it's our job to do something big or small, even if it's not for ourselves..it IS for the children who cannot write letters and have their say, then reality becomes clearer of what must be done.
And bottom line, without public awareness this could go on for many many years to come. Me putting in my two cents, you all putting in your two cents will be what moves this faster to public awareness..and nothing else but a miracle can do this.

Prevenge,
And thanks Jose for the "agreement" you posted so no one feels inhibited.
Prevenge, Yesterday I'd written him (ABC news) so WE could be sure about if anyone would be giving up rights to their videos. Just now I checked my emails...and here's the reply to your concern. ____________________________________________________
Hi Susan,
Thanks for your email. When you submit any of your materials to ABC news, as per our Licensing & Agreement terms, we do not have "exclusive" rights to video submissions.
I hope this clarifies your question & we hope you will still be interested in contributing your question(s) to the ongoing political and health discussions & programming!
Thanks again!
Best, The ABC News 'Talk Back' Team

I understand and I'm sure there's got to someone who also wants this exposed on TV that may have wondered about that issue also. So it's good you brought it up.
