I have been asked by the Parkinson's Action Network to post the following --------------- Please post the following message to the listserv: "I have been advised by Senator McCain's office that the Udall bill's newest cosponsor is Senator Alfonse D'Amato (R-NY). Senator D'Amato was not a cosponsor in the 104th Congress, despite a relentless effort by dedicated New York Parkinson's advocates. We applaud the continued efforts of these advocates, and congratulate them on their successful persuasion of Senator D'Amato! Also, we advise all New York advocates (and those across the country) to contact Senator D'Amato's office (use the Capitol switchboard at 800-962-3524) and thank him for his support!
