Dear List Readers, "Activists" from all over the U.S. will be attending the Parkinson's Action Network Forum in Washington, D.C. May 15th through May 17th. We will be speaking with our representatives in Congress and their healthcare aides about the need to pass the Morris K. Udall Parkinson's Research and Education Act. The timing of our meetings is especially difficult considering the current spirited battle to balance the Federal budget. If you can not make the forum, perhaps you can help by sending E-mail directly to your representatives at this time. I will be happy to circulate notes from this list to attendees of the Forum. We could use "ammunition" to impress upon our representatives the frustrations of living with Parkinson's in the face of so much promising research that remains underfunded. Please keep messages short and to the point. I can only deliver messages sent before noon Sunday. Regards, Ken Aidekman ([log in to unmask])
