Tomorrow is Parkinson's Call-in Day

Thanks to our good friend Zack Earp


 Are You Ready?

Parkinson's Call-in Day is Wednesday, February 27, 2013

Thousands of advocates from across the country will be calling Congress, asking Members to protect funding for Parkinson's research.

Join Them!

Here's why we need your voice:

The U.S. government is the largest funder of Parkinson's research in the world and Parkinson's research funding is at risk of being drastically cut.

Are you in?
Great.  Follow these three simple steps:

1. MAKE THE CALL
To call your Representative, dial:  (202) 225-2305.
To call your Senators, dial: (202) 224-3841 & (202) 224-3553.

To reach a different Member of Congress, dial:  (202) 224-3121.

Ask to speak to the Health Legislative Assistant.  It's okay to speak to someone else and/or leave a message.

2. MAKE THE ASK
Here's what to say:

1. My name is [NAME].  I live in [CITY, STATE] and [I have/my loved one has] Parkinson's disease.

2. Please maintain funding for the NIH, the FDA, and the DoD Parkinson's research program during negotiations on sequestration and the current budget.

3. Thank you and I look forward to your support.

3. SHARE THIS ALERT WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
Anyone can do it!  Friends, family, neighbors, doctors, nurses, work colleagues, support groups -- the more, the better.  Share this alert with your networks and get the phones ringing in Congress! Share on Facebook.

Thank you for raising your voice to protect Parkinson's research.
