Dear all, Barbara brought to my attention that an Email message i sent to CNN yesterday (Thursday) was quoted on the air. Did anyone else see it? I was not home when it aired. I happened to be watching CNN while checking my Email and they flashed the address, so i sent in a message. I didn't make it onto 'Politically Incorrect", but i got an Email published on CNN! :-) Yes, how do we convert the attention into research dollars? Is Reno "too inside the Washington Inner Circle" to be of direct help, (Conflict of interest? A government employee lobbying before Congress?), or could she really help raise awareness?!! If she has Email, we should invite her to be on the list! Below is a copy of the message i sent: I am a 28 yr old male diagnosed with Parkinsons. Parkinsons receives the lowest amount of federal research funds of any major illness. How can Janet Reno assist the millions of Americans afflicted with Parkinsons to get the UDall bill passed in Congress? This bill would authorize 100 million for research into a cure for Parkinsons. >Jeffrey! Was that your message quoted on CNN tonight? Janet Reno has >certainly focused some attention on Parkinson's. Now, how do we convert >that attention into research dollars? Barb -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Peace from the clouds" \--*MH*--/ Jeffrey R.
