For "Parkinson's Disease Awareness Month" to be successful in NJ I need to ask all NJ residents to write a very brief note to their STATE Representatives. Marge Tuchman had sent a post asking for list members to contact her for the names and addresses of who to write to and we have not gotten the necessary response from list members for a successful vote in Trenton. We only have until March 14th for this effort. We desperately need the publicity "Parkinson's Disease Awareness Month" will generate. Please contact Marge at [log in to unmask] She's already looked up all the names and addresses for every legislative district in NJ so you don't even have to go to any web sites. Thanks, Barbara If you are a resident of Middlesex County,18TH Legislative District - East Brunswick, Edison, Metuchen, Milltown, North Brunswick or South River or you have a friend or family living there, would you please write and ask your friends and family to write to these 3 State Representatives: 18TH LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT (Part of Middlesex County - East Brunswick, Edison, Metuchen, Milltown, North Brunswick and South River.) The Honorable Jack Sinagra State Senator 100 Plainfield Avenue, Suite 1 Edison, NJ 08817-3777 The Honorable Peter J. Barnes, Jr. State Assemblyman 1967 Route 27, Suite 20 Edison, NJ 08817 The Honorable Barbara Buono State Assemblywoman 1967 Route 27, Suite 20 Edison, NJ 08817 --SAMPLE LETTER-- Date The Honorable ? State Senator/Assemblyman (woman) Address City State Zip Dear Senator/Assemblyman (woman) ?: A very important resolution, SJR-53 sponsored by Senators Joseph Kyrillos and Anthony Bucco, has been proposed for introduction declaring the month of April as Parkinson's Disease Awareness Month. I ask you to request this resolution be posted on the next Senate Health Committee agenda. The committee is scheduled to meet on March 14, 1999. I [my husband/wife/parent, etc] suffer from Parkinson's disease, a progressive neurological disorder that destroys brain cells controlling motor functions. Eventually it leaves its victims unable to walk, to talk, even to move. Available treatment only partially alleviates the symptoms of stiffness, tremor and slowness of movement. The medication that is available often has toxic side effects. There is NO cure. Please give SJR-53 the attention and recognition it deserves.
