Hi everybody,
After a mind-boggling, 22-hour journey home from Washington, DC to
Portland, Maine, by plane, taxis, train and bus, I amved back from the
PAN forum, exhausted but with wonderful news.
During a 47-minute meeting I had on Wednesday morning with
Congressman John Baldacci of Maine, and his Legislative Health Aide, Joy
Leach, he decided to form a PARKINSONS' CAUCUS of Senators and
Representatives IMMEDIATELY, and lead it if noone with more seniority
could be found to do so.
This means that Representative Baldacci is willing to draw together
and provide informed leadership forr those in the Senate and the House
who favor getting at least $100,00,000.00 of money for Parkinson's. This
would obviously be a dramatic show of Congressional support for full
funding of the Udall Act.
I will post more to all of you after I catch up on lost
sleep--probably tomorrow.
To thank and to encourage Representative Baldacci, you may write to:
The Honorable John E. Baldacci (D-2-ME)
