October 14, 2009

Dear Mr Markey.

Could you give me any information About the status Of bill H.R. 847 the "JAMES ZADROGA BILL". I am a FIRST RESPONDER from MELROSE who worked at GROUND ZERO and is drowning under the medical debt and family strain this has put me under. This is my first venture into anything political in my forty-six years and am very disillusioned about the whole process. Ive written emails before and have even been to your Medford office where once again I was only told where to find it on the net. There are men and women suffering and dying because Congress has failed to act in the last four years. How many people have to die because Congress failed to act. I will shout it from the highest soapbox if it fails again.But only for as long as i can because of my Neck Cancer, Fibromyalgia, headaches, Sleep apnea, Pulmonary problems, etc. Of the 5 men I worked with at Ground Zero 3 have various cancers, ! suicide, And one with such painful earaches he always has to have tubes put in all the time. Please respond as quickly as possible to help the men and women of GROUND ZERO

Thank you

Melrose , MA
