<< PAN deserves credit for singularly continuing to apprise us of what is
happening in Washington, and to give guidance on what we should do. I am
not sure that the past methods they call for - writing and calling - are
going to push our current cause "through the appropriations funnel." But
until the Parkinson's community is ready to move beyond this stage, it is
the best we can do, and we should do it the best we can.

Hi Bob: You may remember during past wars or conflicts family members placed
a placard in their windows if they had a member serving in the Arm Forces.
Perhaps the PD communiy could adopt a symbol such as a red ribbon. The red
ribbon could be tyied to a tree or mail box or front door in the front yard of
all homes having a family member with the disease. Enough red ribbons might
gain more recognition and it is a relatively cheap manner of seeking that
attention.
