Research on Epilepsy

Epilepsy is the fourth most common neurological disorder, behind Parkiinson's Disease and multple sclerousis. over 44,000 people die in the US alone die of this disorder alone. However, numerous Republican senators have suddenly revoked a referendum that makes the US in agreement with the UN policies. In actuality, it would have more effect on other nations than the US because the 2004 Disabilities Act is the "Gold Standard" throughout the world. This policy would only help the disabled people who are US citizens who live abroad (like me). It would NOT affect US Law, nor the economy. Please, ask your senetors to ratify this.
