Bonnie, I think he doesn't want anyone to miss the lack of earmarking. We need it ( or my husband , kids and grandchildren will- since David's PD appears to be genetic) A number of people on this list has PD with a genetic component. I am afraid for my children, grandchildren and and for those of my late brother in law. In fact the repeated posts have caused me ( today ) to fax my congressman and senators. My senators are not much use, but they must have deduced that I vote , or why would I continue to send faxes for what I want. I am considering writing the president also. I have been and still am that the NIH prefers to work on things which give quicker results or where they are close to a sort of solution. Can't say that I blame them , but I have another agenda. You never get anything that you don't ask for. So ask , again and again. In fact I will write the president; someone has to read that mail. For what it's worth , that is what I think.
