ALSAdvocates go to Washington in May to ask our legislators to pony up $5 million from the taxpayers for ALS research. Suppose 500 advocates go to Washington. Let's suppose a modest personal travel/lodging investment of $1000 each. That makes a half million dollar personal investment to put forth a request for $5 million.
Maybe the ALS cause needs to buy a vowel and a different ending consonant.

What a GREAT post. RIGHT ON.
I have pondered the cost benefits ratio of the ALSA Advocacy Day and Public Policy Conference for some time. If it evoked some media coverage, perhaps the benefit would be enhanced, but it has been and remains folks singing to the choir.
Maybe Bernie Maddock will be looking for a job and we can hire him. He surely must a line that catches many fish.
