My husband did not have young onset PD, nor did his older brother ( who also had PD) They hardly had a shared environment, due to the difference in their ages and early entrance into college-- even different colleges. Therefore, I fear for my children, nieces, nephews and their children. I will once again post a webb site and you can click on the url, then your state. It will even tell you who your representative is, if you put in your 10 digit zip code. Time is short before the appropriations , the labor, health and health services and education sub committee meets. Now if you are a young onset pwp , say so when you write. It is really too late to write. If you can fax, do so, if not e-mail. The US mail will not make its way there in time. Just bring the word parkinsonism ( better still Parkinson's Disease) before your senators and and your representative. Or their health aide will read it, be assured the senators and representatives will here of it. You are asking for funding of the Morris K. Udall Parkinson's Research Act of 1997. Be nice, you are asking for help. They know you vote, even if you don't. But get to the polls this Nov. I should have been a preacher or a rabbi . What shoe brand says "just do it" -- good idea. .
