Murray, I recently wrote and asked if there was a nationwide or worldwide org for PD. You replied that one group had a meeting here and another there, etc. But my point is--is there one overriding org that has called a conference at which everyone is invited. Strength is in numbers. I dont want to take any $ from AIDS, but I am really asking is--are we organized as efficiently as they are? How many people attended their conference, how do they get the funding that they get, etc. etc. This is improvemnet by benchmarking! I am new to this community so I can ask some stupid questions. Do we have an efficient org to get dollars, effect research at NIH, get publicity, effect votes, etc. Or do we have many organizations stepping on each others toes? I want to read in the local paper about the worldwide Parkinsons Conference and who spoke and which congresspeople were there. This will show that we are doing well in the politics of med research. Until then, I will be frustrated. If we have a million voices, lets shout in unison, not from many different camps. So, is anybody leading a unifying effort or are we already unified? If not, how do we get there?
