Finally! Some MOVEment.

This Wednesday, Congressman Burgess introduced the National Neurological Disease Surveillance System Act, also known as H.R. 2595.  This is something my mom worked tirelessly on during the 111th Congress.  Sadly, her efforts and the efforts of so many people were put to a stop when my Senator, Senator Coburn or as many call him "Dr. No" put the bill to a halt. 

Not this year, though, Dr. No.  We are going full force...and I have all the hope that we will get something accomplished this year!

H.R. 2595 would create a centralized data collection system at the CDC and it will collect data about neurological diseases-like MS.   Very exciting stuff! Just hoping we can get something through,

Hoping to go to the Pentagon memorial tonight and the newseum this weekend.  D.C., you have been good to me!

Below are some pictures from the briefing I worked on last week.
