Hi Joan -- 4280 Hiawatha Lane Redding, CA 96003 -----Original Message----- From: Joan E Blessing Snyder <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thursday, January 10, 2002 5:50 AM Subject: Welcome home Ted & about Lane Evans > Wow, Carol-is that ever good news about bringing Ted home. It is >obvious that your determination, knowledge and your decision to >"educate" those in the health care system who were willing to listen to >you. I am also certain that the prayers of so many who care about and >love teddy from the chatroom didn't hurt, either! Would you email me >today, please so that I can check your correct snail mail address so >that I may mail you somethings? Thank you Carol for all you've done and >the inroads you've made!! > Now, I'd like to speak about Congressman Lane Evans, whom I know >personally. He came to Chillicothe last July to be a guest speaker at my >golf-tournament/family funday activities. A nicer, kinder, more caring >man you will not find in this dirty game of politics. (this is my >opinion, and i admit to not knowing many congressmen!) Since that >initial meeting, I have been in close contact with him and his >office-altho he does not represent my district. My husband & I went to >an kick-off party for his new campaign and I must tell you, that I am >quite happy to endorse him not only as a candidate who happens to have >Parkinson's Disease, but also as a well educated man who is acutely in >tune with his district and the workers who live there. His stamina and >his enthusiasm are remarkable for anyone not just a pwp. What is >heart-breaking to me, is that his opponents seem to zero in on his >health as their major issue to beat the Congressman. This requires him >to use valuable resources to combat their negative advertising when he >would much rather spend the time, effort and money on the real >issues-vetrans affairs, labor and management, the economy and >unemployment. > So, once again, it becomes glaringly apparent that our voices must >be heard...that our disease must be explained to those who confuse and >mix up the information, and we must make the entire country and world >understand what Parkinson's Disease and it's diagnosis means-be it in >the health care industry, in politics or in the line at the grocery >store. > April is Parkinson's Awareness Month, why not plan something >now to raise awareness in your area?? If anyone needs ideas or >suggestions, please contact me. Together we can make a difference!! > >-- >Joan E.
