Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Act
So I understand that Senator Coburn (OK) has put a “hold” on the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Act, effectively preventing the bill from being brought to a floor vote. I wrote the following to Sen. Burr.
I thank you for your support and cosponsorship of theChristopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Act (S.1183) whichwill bring much needed programs for the many medicalconditions that are afflicted with paralysis. As one ofyour constituents and a person living with paralysis, I amdirectly affected by this piece of legislation. I recently read that your colleague Senator Coburn has putthis bill on "hold" and is preventing a vote on this bill.I am asking that you urge your colleague to allow thisbill to be decided by our elected legislators. Thank you.
