Call Your Representative Today; about About the MS Centers of Excellence

[pookieblue]

From the National MS Socity:

Earlier this year, thousands of MS activists successfully urged the Senate to unanimously pass a bill that would formally establish and ensure future funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Multiple Sclerosis Centers of Excellence and the Parkinson's Disease Research Education and Clinical Centers.

But we are only half way there. Time is running out to get this bill passed by the House. If H.R. 2959 does not pass before the 109th Congress adjourns in December, the legislation will have to be reintroduced in the new Congress, and we run the risk of the Centers being closed.
