Deans' stroke musings: Join us for our 5th Annual Virtual Lobby Days!

Guargantuan F*cking Whoopee.
Once again the NSA proves it doesn't know what would help survivors the most.
1. You stop the neuronal cascade of death resulting in much less disability.
2. For existing survivors you sponsor research into making neuroplasticity consistently repeatable on demand. Or you sponsor research that has neurogenesis helping the dead and damaged areas.
This press release crap is pretty worthless.
3. Don't wait for new research, Go out and sponsor research that will solve survivors problems.
This just completely proves once again

THAT YOU ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM

LAZY BASTARDS!

This is all having someone else do the work. Doesn't the NSA do anything directly that will help survivors? Stroke groups do not count, that's compensating not recovery.

Dear dean,

Are you concerned about the financial impacts of stroke? How about increasing access to medical care? Or improving treatments available to survivors? If so, you’ll want to participate in our fifth annual Virtual Lobby Days event! Throughout the next three weeks, we’re asking members of the stroke community to reach out to members of Congress and urge their support for legislation that will improve the lives of stroke survivors and their families. If you’re interested in any of the following issues, you’ll want to be involved.

Tax credits for caregivers
Access to therapy services
Faster, better access to medical care
Funding for stroke and other brain-related research
Research into new treatments
Joining a Congressional membership organization focusing on stroke and neurology

Why should you speak out? As a constituent living and working in your legislators’ state or district, your opinion can significantly impact the decisions he or she makes. Telling your story and showing how stroke-related legislation directly impacts you and your loved ones is one of the most effective ways to influence policy change in Congress.

It should take no more than 10 to 15 minutes to send a message. When your message is combined with the voices of other stroke survivors around the country, we have a real opportunity to make an impact. Together, we can make a difference on Capitol Hill.

Sincerely,

National Stroke Association advocacy staff
