Hi Jeanne and PDF, Jeanette, Judith , Barb Blake-Krebs, Marge and Dick Swindler...and anyone in KANSAS: I am writing with comments on HOW MUCH money we have now won, and with a thought about approaching Sen. Brownback. At our Portland, Maine PD support group last Sunday, $215,000,000.00 was stated to be the current estimate of PD research funds..This new total came from the regional APDA meetings in New Hampshire in early November. We were all rather surprised, and delighted, after years of petitioning and hard work in Washington and locally. *** I was kind of wondering how it was calculated,. and if the PDF has the same , or a different amount that is used by the APDA.. The PAN numbers are so much lower that I am a little uncertain. * I need to understand the numbers more accurately , so that when I am on TV or radio, which is happening more and more, I can speak more authoritatively. Could we mobilize a "Sen. Brownback team" , with constituents like Barbara Blake-Krebs and Marge and Dick Swindler as very able leaders, to turn him around? on the stem cell research issues? *** PLEASE let me know if I can be of any assistance. Thanks, Jeannette, for your willingness to advocate while in Washington in January. Jeanette, I think PWP Perry Cohen would be a superb source for you.
