Today I received a letter from Ross N. Rubin, JD of the AMA. I would like to quote the last paragraph "Regarding formal AMA support for any particular piece of pending Congressional legislation, our procedure involves review and analysis by the AMA's Council on Legislation, with a subquent recommendation made to the AMA's Board of Trustees. I will arrange to have the Parkinson's Research, Ed and Assist Act placed on the agenda of the Council on Legis- lation at one of its meetings in the near future, and I will communicate the Council's recommendation on the bill to you thereafter. I now ask all of you out there on the internet, regardless of country, but as Parkinsonians to write Ross Rubin, JD to encourage the AMA to support this Act. ROSS N. RUBIN, JD VICE PRESIDENT LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITIES 515 North State Street Chicago , IL. 60610 312-464-4961Fax While you have your pen and pencil out how about writing to- THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF NEUROLOGY 2221 UNIVERSITY AVE SUITE 335 MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55414 Remember we're fighting for our lives.
