Fortunately People With ALS Are Good At Spelling

Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska has been the ALS cause's biggest friend on Capitol Hill. Behind the scenes she has worked with her colleagues of all political persuasions to enable legislation to help those with ALS and to add to ALS research.

If you have friends in Alaska, please spread the word and ask them to consider writing in her name on their November ballots. Without her in the Senate, the work of ALS advocacy gets a whole lot harder.

Seldom do we see prominent people wearing red Strike Out ALS wristbands. Here is a Senator who wears the wristband and a profound commitment to the cause. She hates ALS. We need that rage and commitment.
