Just thought I'd pass along some ENCOURAGING info my husband received while talking to Scott Klug, Representative from WI, at a fund-raising last week. Klug felt quite positive that the Udall Bill would get out of committee and pass in both houses. This is especially interesting since he is on the committe in the House that can bring the Bill to the floor. Klub felt there was a lot of interest in it, and was pretty optimistic about its passing. After hearing this news I allowed myself a few cartwheels and some excited girlish squeals: "Do you think it's going to pass? Really? Truly?" but then sobered up quickly. Realist that I am, I know this is only one lawmaker's opinion. BUT it IS good to know that the prevailing mood is growing more positive all the time. This small piece of good news MEANS WE MUST KEEP ON BARRAGING OUR LEGISLATORS WITH CALLS AND LETTERS AND CARDS. These next several weeks are crucial and we must keep our enthusiasm and momentum going strong. because it finally looks distinctly possible that Parkinson's Disease is on its way to becoming "INVISIBLE NO MORE!!!"
