I'm forwarding this Action Alert from the Parkinson's Action Network. NETRP is the Department of Defense's Neurotoxin Exposure Treatment and Research Program - they fund excellent Parkinson's and other neurological research. Please contact your Senator as requested by PAN. For more information on NETRP see: http://www.parkinsonsaction.org/netrptprevised.pdf Thanks, Linda -------------------------------------------- FWD MESSAGE: Hi, all! A quick NETRP update-- We are hearing that the Defense conference is about 80% completed. We don't have firm numbers, but it looks like NETRP may get less than the $31 million we are requesting. This week, more than ever, it is important to speak to your Senators about retaining the $31 million for the NETRP in conference. In particular, we need a push in the following states: Alaska (Sen.
