Or talk to you personally on the telephone, if you can't arrange appointments in person. I would suggest you then ask them if they would go BEYOND supporting us. "Support" is different from long-term commitment.WE NEED long-term commitment to specific goals. I would ask them to speak out in favor of the research centers, the training of young scientists and medical workers, the aid to families with dependent Parkinson's suffererers, the public education and outreach, and the coordination of Parkinson's research, and the research planning conferences, all STIPULATED in the Udall bill they have voted for. I would ask them to look at the world-wide impact such a commitment would have. I would speak of it in terms of it being good for the country, good for the world, good common sense as an investment. If enough of us BELIEVE in a cure, the money will be found to actually find a cure. Bruce, thank you for your immediate response and obvious support. I hope you get a chance to tell us all what happens when you contact your New Jersey senators. IVAN
