Dear Murray and List Members,

This is exactly what I received from my efforts.  I wrote again and thanked
them for representing their constituents.  I noted that I also felt they
represented all of us and that within their constituencies were victims of
trauma, MS, Diabetes, PD, etc.  I followed with a description of PD and
what a member of their families might suffer should he/she be affected.
I'd like to think that someone read my messages.  More than likely,
Congressional lines were probably so overpowered with messages they shut
down!  I think three senators' offices sent automatic replies, but I keep
hoping that maybe.........
