Happy New Year

With the presidential elections heating up, 2008 will be an interesting year for healthcare policies and reform initiatives. Before the Iowa caucuses tomorrow, check out the candidates' positions on healthcare issues at www.health08.org

As a nonprofit organization, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society is nonpartisan and does not endorse any political candidates. We do encourage all legislators to join the movement and support issues that will help move us closer to a world free of MS and other disabilities, including:

• Increased MS research
• Disability rights
• Access to quality health care
• Increased long-term care resources
• Accessible, affordable insurance

Are you registered to vote? Voting in the primary and general elections is one way to help advance MS issues. Many state deadlines for voter registration started in December. Click here for the voter registration deadline in your state: www.vote411.org
