Hi, everyone: Well, here I am at my own computer, finally! I had been borrowing "SashaSherm" but you can now find me at "cureit!" I'm writing all of us PWP's (parkies) to share the TOLL-FREE number to the United States Capitol switchboard. It is 1-800-962-3524. Using this, the caller just asks for whichever Senator or Representative you want. I have put calls through to Senator Kassenbaum, and several others. Amazingly, my phone rang at 6:00 one evening last week, and it was Nancy Kassenbaum's legislative aide, Dr. Kent Bradley. He is a 1992 medical school graduate, and is licensed in Obstetrics and Gynecology. He listened very carefully to what I said. Several aides to representatives and senators told me they had NEVER received a direct call before from a person actually suffering from Parkinson's Disease. I believe these calls are VERY INFLUENTIAL. 88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, WE PWP'S OUGHT TO MAKE AS MANY CALLS AS POSSIBLE. The number again, is 1-800-962-3524. Please share this tel. number widely. Sincerely, Ivan Suzman, Portland,Maine([log in to unmask]) 46 yrs, PD 9 years, PD activist 2 yrs P.S. Using this 800 number, and also the local Rhode Island tel. no., my family and I have gotten commitments from both Reps. (Reed and Kennedy) to CO-SPONSOR THE UDALL BILL!! Bottom line--the 800 number works!
