---------- Forwarded Message ---------- From: "Parkinson's Action Network" <[log in to unmask]> To: "linda herman" <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Schedule a visit with your lawmakers this August! Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2010 11:07:55 -0700 (PDT) Meet with your Members of Congress about Parkinson's Priorities During the month of August, your Senators and Representatives will be back at home working and meeting with constituents like you. The August recess gives you the perfect opportunity to advocate for the Parkinson's community by meeting with your Members of Congress, either individually or at a town hall meeting. When meeting with your elected officials individually, make sure to tell your personal story, talk about Parkinson's disease, and how it affects you and your family. If attending a town hall meeting, ask your member about what they are doing to help the Parkinson's community. During the meeting or town hall, ask your Member of Congress to: Cosponsor the National MS and Parkinson's Disease Registries Act (H.R. 1362/S. 1273). Fund the Department of Defense Neurotoxin Exposure Treatment Parkinson's Research (NETPR) program in the Fiscal Year 2011 Defense Appropriations bill. For more detailed information about how to request a meeting with your Members of Congress or find a town hall meeting near you, as well as more information regarding the National MS and Parkinson's Disease Registries Act and NETPR program, please visit the PAN Web site. www.parkinsonsaction.org If you no longer wish to receive e-mail from us, please click here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
