You can assist this campaign to get the Udall bill for Parkinson's research
passed in a variety of ways.
Of course, encouraging a steady flow of letters and calls to key House and
Senate players, or others (co-sponsors or not) will provide the foundation
for our more directed action.
CONGRESS NEEDS TO KNOW THAT THIS IS A PRIORITY IN THE EYES OF THEIR
CONSTITUENTS. Tell them we need passage of the Udall bill, either the
original --S.684/H.R. 1462-- or the "streamlined" version contained in S.
1897, the 1997 NIH Reauthorization bill. EVERY MEMBER OF CONGRESS SHOULD BE
PUSHING TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
If you want to do more, PARTICULARLY if you have developed a connection
to one of the key leadership figures, or to any other Members who will work
on the leadership, you can help urge their involvement. For example, Bob
Martone of Houston is working closely with the office of Congressman Tom
DeLay(R-TX), the House majority Whip, to turn his co-sponsorship into an
active role helping move the bill to the floor. If you have a connection
to a particular Member who may be influential, let Joan Samuelson know at
1-800-850-4726.
