I started a petition on Care2 urging President Obama to devote more funding and attention to lupus research and awareness -- please
sign it and help forward it in whatever way you can! I know that just about everyone's on Facebook, Twitter, all kinds of sites, so if you can promote the cause to your friends in even one other venue, that's a huge help.
I have no idea if these kinds of things really help, but hey, it's worth a try, right?
