Gregory, I don't want you to have to take PD for one more day, let alone 10 yrs. I'm emailing as much as I can, my hands are weak and tremorous, but I"ll do whatever I can in that respect. Wish I could make it to Washington, there is nothing I"d love more, but I don't have anyone to help me get there. We need some WELL advocates, it is so hard to fight when you have PD. I think everyone should say exactly what they think, we are supposed to have free speech. When I taught Advanced Placement History classes in high school we argued every point of view and respected each other, I didn't necessarily want them to agree with me. Just wanted them to think for themselves. On this stem call research issue I'm not so tolerant of the opposition; it shouldn't even argued, how stupid not to use discarded embryos. I make my stand on this to the end. It breaks my heart that I'm hearing from so many young people with PD. Go for the march. . I wasn't opposing it, far from it, just lamenting my inability to do more than try to influence my legislators and friends and relatives. I may still try to make it if I can find a way, that is if you do it. Also,vainly trying to figure out what would work and get attention. Guess I haven't figured it out yet. All the best to you, you are forever in my thoughts and your plight is engraved on my heart. Sorry, if I "shot from the lip", it's one of my faults.
