Bob Dolezal said: "This is one of the most immportant issues to face the Parkinson community in the six years I have been a member. I doubt that we have much of a say, but,if we did, how would you vote?" I'd like to second Bob comments. I've communicated similar thoughts to a representative of one of our U.S. Parkinson's organizations, who agreed on the importance of collaboration. If any others are listening - please do not get into a competition for MJF. If he does choose to become involved, couldn't he be a spokesperson for the Parkinson's community as a whole, working with all groups, rather than just one organization. Do you think you can all try to work together on this? Linda Herman [log in to unmask]
