I think this petition is probably one close to all our hearts and has lots of signatures,

It asks Cameron and Atos to look at how Fibro affects people and to take it seriously when considering people who have it for DLA awards. :

I'm not sure how effective petitions are , but signing can't do any harm can it ?

hi Helen,

I have signed the petition and tried to explain what Fibromyalgia is and how it affects our lives.

I hope that this and all other petitions will help in our battle with this government and treat us with the respect we deserve.

Take Care

IF SOMEONE IN OUR GOVERNMENT - OR ONE OF THEIR FAMILY - HAD

THIS HORRID CONDITION - I BET THEY WOULD MOVE QUICKLY TO

OFFER MORE HELP!!

The more I read about Cameron and his policies the more convinced I am that he has a real dislike of disabled people. I know he had a disabled child who died and I'm not sure if that has caused him some psychological problems .

thanks for bringing this petition to our attention I have signed and left a message on this lets hope it does some good I feel that disabled people are being demonised by our current government as scroungers most of us would love to work but cannot through no fault of our own but his policies do not seem to look at individual circumstances enough but treat with blanket judgements perhaps we should video just one week in a fibrmites life then maybe mr cameron may be forced to look at his assumptions about us. rant over now

virtual hugs

I don't mind signing, but why do we have to put our email addresses on?

I've done it. Sandra99b I think you have to put email address to ensure that people do not abuse it. I have done several petitions and have not been bothered by emails from them.

I've signed. I do not have this awful condition, but I do treat people with it and have found this site so informative. I also feel that to put any sick or disabled person through all this anxiety and stress is wrong and morally repugnant. I pay taxes and would rather they went to support our people in need than bailing out Greece, Spain etc. It sickens me and makes me very angry.
