JUST HAD A PHONE CALL FROM REP. JIM RAMSTEAD IN WHICH HE TOLD ME HE HAD SIGNED AS A CO-SPONSOR. WE'VE BEEN CHASING HIM SINCE MARCH. I'VE LEARNED SEVERAL THINGS FROM THIS EXPERIENCE. 1. PERSISTENCE PAYS. 2. DON'T COUNT ON STAFFERS TO DELIVER THE MESSAGE. IF THEY DO, IT SURELY LACKS THE EMOTION AND SENSE OF URGENCY THAT WE CAN CONVEY. 3.THE MESSAGE IS COMPELLING. WE TALKED ABOUT 4 TOPICS A.THE EFFECTS OF PARKINSON'S. IF YOU MEET WHEN SYMPTOMS ABOUND, SO MUCH THE BETTER. I WAS A DYKANETIC BASKET CASE. B.THE STATE AND OPTIMISM PROVIDED BY CURRENT RESEARCH C.PAST FUNDING INEQUITIES. USE GRAPHS! D.RETURN ON INVESTMENT. IT MAKES GREAT FINANCIAL SENSE TO INVEST. MORT
