***********************************************************
Are you ANGRY about the fact that there are four new drugs that the
establishment (doctors, TV, media0 keep raving about, BUT WE PEOPLE WITH
PARKINSON's  CAN'T GET THEM?

ROPINEROLE, PRAMEPEXOLE, CABERGOLINE,  and TOLCALPONE are dangled like
big candy apples but where the h*** are these drugs?

In the storerooms of big DRUG COMPANIES, STASHED AWAY UNTIL THE
MONEY-MAKERS LET ONE OF THE DRUGS OUT TO TEASE US...

the AIDS ACTIVISTS (act-UP) ARE RIGHT--SILENCE EQUALS  DEATH...

There's something wrong with the picture: THEY WON'T GIVE US DRUGS, SO
WE HAVE TO GET OUR SKULLS SAWED OPEN SO THAT SURGEONS CAN MAKE MONEY AND
PLAY GOLF ON WEDNESDAYS.

excuse me, but to put it bluntly, "THIS SUCKS!"

I am sooooooo angry.....WE NEED an ACT-UP for PD.  CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE.
ARRESTS AT THE FRONT DOORS OF THE DRUG COMPANY OFFICES.  wHY THE
h**** DOESN'T Upjohn release Pramepexole?

PROTESTS at the FDA offices...

WORLDWIDE PARKINSONIAN ANGER...

PICKETS AT TV STATIONS that ignore our exhausted telephone calls and
pleas
for coverage of Muhammad Ali's  April 23 Udall testimony..

Sorry, folks, but balls of string and tulips are too POLITE!!!

LOOK at AIDS in the UNITED STATES:  $2,400.00 per patient spent on
research.  But for parkinson's disease:  $24  per patient.

AIDS ACTIVISTS screamed and screamed, and laid down on streets and
blockaded federal buildings and printed T-shirts and pins and buttons and
were VISIBLE and GAY MEN and LESBIANS came OUT OF THE CLOSET

snf JESSE JACKSON included AIDS on the AGENDA

and OPRAH and JESSE and BARBARA Walters and whoever must be BLITZED with
PARKINSONIAN ANGER BLITZED WITH PARKINSONIAN ANGER

and people PRAYED and held SIT-INS in the 60's

and Fanny Lou Hamer marched and fought from the cottonfields of
MISSISSIPPI

"Cancer took her body,
but the STRUGGLE took her soul,
down on the white man's FARM>>

,,,and she lived and ided in the state of MISSISSIPPI>>>

"I am so tired of being sick and tired"

AND lisa CRUMRINE IN THE tropics, and Barb Mallut and Dennis Greene and
Jacob Drollinger and the tireless JIM CORDY and the PARKELISTE and feisty
