Hi Andre- Thank you for your offer to help us to pass the Morris Udall Bill for Parkinson's Disease Research S.535 & H.R.1260. I have always encouraged ANYONE -no matter where they live- who will benefit from Parkinson disease Research, to contact Washington DC. and let their needs be known. What better way to let the United States government know that their decisions effect people who are suffering from disease-all over the world- not just their constituents, then by writing and calling from afar. Last year a list member from Austrailia called a congressional office in Washington DC and said , "All eyes are upon you, waiting to see what the U.S. does to help their citizens with Parkinson's disease." She told me that the office was very courteous and VERY willing to listen. Perhaps in your contact with our leaders you could say, "Please allow me to help your constituents. I respectfully request that you do whatever is necessary to move the Udall Bill S.535 & H.R.1260 to the floor for hearings and a vote." The following 4 Sponsors of the Udall bill need to know that our support for what they are doing is strong and worldwide .
