1. So should I stop praying for a cure for Parkinson's Disease?
Should I also stop asking for the strength to continue lobbying for scientific cures like Stem Cell Research? I am confused now.

2. I'm sorry you have Parkinson's.

There was some good news today- the GOP is not going to block the approval of stem cell research in Maryland.
We need progressive science, and prayers too, if they help you. :hug:

3. Thank you for that Good News.

4. I would.
Lobbying works better than praying. For sure.
