PAN is looking for more grassroots advocates, especially from Oklahoma, at this time. If the Repblicans gain control of the Senate, Oklahoma 's Sen. Coburn is likely to become very influential on funding for medical research, and his past record has not been supportive. Currently there are no PAN grassroots coordinator in the state to advocate on behalf of PD and other medical research. If you are from Oklahoma or know people who llive there, (or from anywhere else) please consider getting involved with PAN. There is much information about PAN's goals and activities on their web site . see: www.parkinsonsaction.org Also please respond to the Action Alerts by clicking on "JOIN Us - TAKE ACTION' thanks, Linda If you have any questions or want to just talk to a PAN staffer, you can contact John Schall at [log in to unmask] or Hayley Carpenter at [log in to unmask] www.pdpipeline.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
