Michael
J. Fox & Muhammed Ali were just back on the Hill asking for
more money for Parkinsons again! Julia Roberts was just there
asking for more money for a terrible disease that attacks
little girls! GOD BLESS THEM!
But again,
I'm still wondering whose going to the Hill in such a high
profile way and speaking for us with HCV? Well the answer
is us........the numbers will outweight the celebrity...........so
we need every Veterans & HCV/Liver Organization, every FireFighters/EMS/Paramedic/Medical
Association/Union & MORE there in SOLIDARITY on June 23, 2002
If
you want funding for this disease, BE THERE!
