Udall Bill 1-800-962-3524
Hi, everyone:
Well, here I am at my own computer, finally! I had been borrowing
"SashaSherm" but you can now find me at "cureit!"
I'm writing all of us PWP's (parkies) to share the TOLL-FREE number to the
United States Capitol switchboard. It is 1-800-962-3524.
Using this, the caller just asks for whichever Senator or Representative you
want. I have put calls through to Senator Kassenbaum, and several others.
Amazingly, my phone rang at 6:00 one evening last week, and it was Nancy
Kassenbaum's legislative aide, Dr. Kent Bradley. He is a 1992 medical
school graduate, and is licensed in Obstetrics and Gynecology. He listened
very carefully to what I said.
Several aides to representatives and senators told me they had NEVER
received a direct call before from a person actually suffering from
Parkinson's Disease. I believe these calls are VERY INFLUENTIAL.

IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, WE PWP'S OUGHT TO MAKE AS MANY CALLS AS POSSIBLE.
The number again, is 1-800-962-3524. Please share this tel. number widely.
Sincerely,

P.S. Using this 800 number, and also the local Rhode Island tel. no., my
family and I have gotten commitments from both Reps. (Reed and Kennedy) to
CO-SPONSOR THE UDALL BILL!! Bottom line--the 800 number works!
