Seth Rogen testifies in front of two Senators about Alzheimer's research.

Two Senators showed up to hear Seth Rogen testify about how his fiance's mother is afflicted with Alzheimer's. After giving a heartfelt speech about it, he took to Twitter to call them out about how low of a priority it obviously is to most of the Senators.

Do these people ever work? Seriously, how many other jobs do you know of where workers get to take as much time off as Congress does?

1. I like Seth Rogen but this sort of screams dog & pony show.

2. I'm sure those who have relatives who suffer from Alzheimer's would say it is not a dog and pony

show. If they schedule it they should show up for it. Otherwise don't schedule it.

4. My dad died from complications of Alzheimers about 5 years ago.

Seth Rogen is not an expert on the topic. He is a celeb who like many others is brought in to DC to draw attention to a topic because the people who are experts probably can't. It's just possible the senators had more important things to do at that time than listen to Seth Rogen.

5. It is not who was speaking. It was the issue he was speaking of. If they did not plan on

showing up they should not have scheduled it. I think it is disrespectful of them not to show up. I have the BRCA1 gene and have had preventative surgery to lessen my risk of breast cancer of which my mother and grand mother died. If Angelina Jolie was speaking to Congress about breast cancer research and no one showed up I would be very angry.

6. I lost my dad in December due to dimentia.

"Sucks" doesn't begin to describe the past 10 years.

My wife (then fiance) took it harder; seeing how she had just met my dad a year before he was diagnosed. She loved how funny he was. Then she got to witness it: the slow decline then the sudden drop off of a cliff.

My biggest regret is that he would never know his youngest grandchild.

To my dad. To your dad.

8. I commend Seth, who is a good hearted guy, for using what he's got to try to draw

attention to this disease which recently took my Mom.
