This may seem like a small thing, but I still feel that newspaper and media coverage is something we have been lacking in re the Udall Bill. I know it helped here in Arkansas. I sent in a letter to the editor of the major newspaper in our state, naming the congressmen who had co sponsored the bill AND those who had not. Within a week or two, two more congressmen from Arkansas signed on. However, most people who remarked to me concerning the letter had never heard of the Udall Bill-- including many PWP! If each person on this list could get their home town paper or better, tv station, to run a "special interest" short on the Udall Bill and Parkinson's disease (perhaps in January), I think it would help a great deal. Nothing makes our congressmen sit up and take notice like a media account of something---especially if their name is in it. And most wouldn't want their name in such an article if it were to report they were NOT for the Udall Bill. Just another idea........ Rosemary Russell
