Check to see if your Senator or Congressman has signed on to support the New MS Caucus.

During the week of May 6-9, we spent time with each and every Senator and Congressman asking them to co-sponsor the Congressional MS Caucus.

This Caucus will

• Actively engage in discussions about access to quality health care,increased MS research, disability rights, and other MS issues;
• Seek creative solutions to the challenges facing people with MS, and;
• Raise awareness and promote education about MS in our efforts to move closer to a world free of this disease.

The MS Caucus was Co-chaired by Congressmen Russ Carnahan (MO) and Michael Burgess, M.D. (TX and Senators Byron Dorgan (ND) and Orrin Hatch (UT).

Write a letter to your Legislator if they are not on this list.

If anyone is from Idaho, take note that Congressman Bill Sali has two sisters with MS and he has yet to sign on or take note of ANY legislation for MS. He is up for re-election this year.

If you belong to other MS Forums, please spread the word. The closer we get to the election, the more important it is.

Thanks for the info Cheryl.

My Reps are there.. Thanks, Cheryl..

Good. You should send them a Thank You and ask them to urge their colleagues to sign on!!!

I hope his name just hasn't been added yet. I would snatch my brother bald if he wasn't on board with something like this!

Not as of May 21.

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

I type about a word a day...real slow...would like to talk to pilots with MS
