ALS is the disease that takes a deadly toll on the body by a process of total muscle paralysis, which causes death in a very short time. Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma is the Doctor that thinks the Center for Disease Control collecting data on the variables of ALS is a waste of money. The ALS Registry Act S. 1382 was written and introduced four years ago. Endless hours by ALS Advocates and congressional time taken to approve and make sure it is acceptable has all been lost. The Senator found a way to kill the clock just before the other team won; Senate trickery called a &amp;quot;Hold.&amp;quot; No public explanation yet but we learn today that the Doctor has politiical objectives other than Saving Lives.</description></item><item><title>Okla. senator endorses McCain</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/16/582620.aspx#583104</link><pubDate>Wed, 16 Jan 2008 22:28:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:583104</guid><dc:creator>B Stein</dc:creator><description>&amp;quot;whether it be about standing on principal&amp;quot; Principal?
