If you are represented in Congress by any of these individuals please contact them immediately and urge them to meet with me to discuss the importance of HR 1490. Here are the key members of the House and Senate and links to their websites for contact information. Finally, I know that many will be attending the annual conferences of the ALS Association or National Council on Independent Living in Washington, DC the same week I am there. I would ask that when you meet with your Members of Congress that you urge them to cosponsor or otherwise support the passage of HR 1490. Thank you in advance for your interest and support.
Some people see a rose, smell it, and remember it as a beautiful thing.
A few people may pass a rose and not notice it or care about it, or even find it to be an impediment to their journey. Others see a rose, grasp the stem, are jabbed with thorns, and remember the rose as a hurtful, dangerous plant. Acupuncture and chiropractic come to mind. Some disciplines may not demonstrably help, but they do not hurt. At the very least, they may make a patient temporarily feel better.
