Thank you for contacting me to share your thoughts on the San Bernardino Sun's series "Lost Among Us." It is good to hear from you.

The Positive feedback has been overwhelming. Your support in this endeavor to change the way our nation treats the mentally ill is very meaningful. I have begun to share this series with my colleagues, and I am pleased by the response. I appreciate that you included a copy of your guest opinion piece, and I will include it in the group of articles I am circulating. I will be certain to keep you informed of our progress as Congress begins a dialogue on the best way to assist those suffering from mental illness and those individuals' families.

Again, thanks for your input. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future on this or any other issue of concern to you.

Sincerely,

Signed

Jerry Lewis
Member of Congress
