Politics is a sport in my state. It always has been.

I'm in New York.

My senators are:

Chuck Schumer
Hillary Clinton

representative:

John Hall

Busy state. Busy politics.

I'm glad to know that Obama has taken an interest in MS. And not because of politics.

Niko:cool:

Thanks Niko!!

Funny thing is that a couple years ago, Ms Clinton received the award that Senator Durban received this year as Senator of the year. This is the highest honor the Society awards to public officials. You'd think that Ms. Clinton would continue to support MS....I guess it's not important to her anymore...

Welcome to Neurotalk. I am a pilot with MS. There are actually quite a lot of us.

Is there specific information that you are seeking or anything in particular I can help you with?

I love talking about flying!!!

Well, I am not counting the chickens yet, BUT I got an email from Congressman Sali's Legislative Assistant today informing me that the Congressman has been signed up on the Congressional MS Caucus. His name should appear on the list sometime next week!

SCORE ONE FOR IDAHO!!!!!

No, I do not. I do have a commercial license, an instrument rating and over 1000 hours of pilot in command flight time. I own an airplane, a citabria, and used to fly competition aerobatics. I was also a competition aerobatic judge.

I have been involved in aviation since I was a kid (my dad was a pilot). I was also a volunteer for the Reno Air Races for 10 years with my last job as part of the safety brief team for the race and air show pilots. I've done volunteer work for other air shows including being part of the Board of Directors for the air show in Boise for 3 years.

My husband just retired from Delta Air Lines as a captain.

Are you a pilot? What's your background?

3 of the 4 reps here in illinois just got a note from me regarding this issue, along with the standard comment I added this " i find it rude that you three of you from Illinois are not involved in this,yet, and Illinois beinga highly MS populated population. I also expect this to change, or you can seriously discount my vote in the future and everyone who knows and cares for me with my MS, you can tell the military to cut, bush and his friends have used the 9/11 paranoia long enough, we have home land issues social security, medical coverage, education, and what i see via tv and holly wood a rapid decline in morals. My grandpa use to tell me before i go to my friends house to fix things I was to make sure things here at home were all covered and taken care of. I think this might be a good motto for yall to live by"


peace
