Abi, I agree with what you were trying to say. Too many times, a lot of voters in this country vote based solely on a single issue or stand the candidate has taken. I'm Pro Life, but sometimes I have to decide if this outweighs all the other issues. I have PD, but there are other problems that need to be addressed in our government as well. Believe it or not, I'm a conservative Republican who belongs, by choice, to a Union!!! Now, how about that for a contradiction? > ---------- > From: Abi Murthy[SMTP:[log in to unmask]] > Sent: Thursday, July 30, 1998 1:17 PM > To: Multiple recipients of list PARKINSN > Subject: Re: Please help - Your input is needed > > Ivan- > > I think that using a number like 6 caregivers per PWP would be > overdoing it- > While it is very very likely that there are 6 people who would vote > differently > per PWP, if the only issue at stake were PD/ funding Udall, there are > other > issues too aren't they? > > In my experience, I've foung that voting is a very personal decision- > and > nobody wants to vote your way because of who you are.
