I hope that all of you who are involved in the verbal "war" regarding politics are using your impressive writing skills to communicate to President Bush and your senators and representatives. A few months ago, I wrote a letter to the President requesting that he modify his position on stem cell research. Then, after making some comments regarding other national priorities, I said: "For many millions of us and our families, however, day-to-day living is impacted or defined by debilitating illness (in my case, Parkinson's Disease) or injury. I strongly believe that one of major successes of your Presidency could involve declaring "war" on debilitating diseases. At no previous time in our history have we had the necessary technology for ensuring success." I think this is the kind of war we need. It can be won. The favorable impact would be enormous for the many millions of us now suffering from debilitating illness and injury, and for the additional millions who will experience such misfortune. I want a President willing to assume leadership in this type of war.
