Gov. Corbett, We must have funding for this disease. Budgetary constraints cannot prevent funding which affords education and training.

Please keep this in the budget, we need all the help we can get for our children. They have the right and need for the continued support. Thank you for your time.

What is wrong with this man??? If someone in his family was affected by this debilitating disorder, you can bet your ass that funds wouldn't be cut! At least he has his priorities straight...Hmmm...let's cut funds from education and research that could possibly change someone's life! Way to go, Mr. Governor! You should be ashamed of yourself!

I've been suffering with TS for almost 40 years, and I now have a son with it. We need this funding. If not for the adults with TS, then at least for the children!

$150,000 is a small price for PA to pay to make sure their residents get the support and information so important to those with or caring for people with Tourette Syndrome!

PA TSA provides support that is not available elsewhere to families impacted by Tourette Syndrome!

How in the world could Gov. Corbertt even think about eliminating the funding for this organization!!!! If it weren't for PA TSA, my son would never know what if feels like to be able to be himself!!! We need this to continue for all that are affected by TS..

Please restore funding for Tourette Sydrome. As the parent of a son first diagnosed when he was thirteen, I know how valuable the advocacy and education work done by PA-TSA was to our family life. It is critical to support parents, children and families impacted by this neurological disorder, for which there is no known cure.

Funding for Tourette Syndrome is vital. My son endures daily tics and has been helped by the PA Tourette Syndrome Alliance. The information and support they have given us has made a tremendous difference in how we all deal with this neurological condition.

How could you eliminate such a wonderful organization. When my child was younger and needed their help they gave it no questions asked and you have the nerve not too help them. What if it was your child. You can bet you a$$ they would get money. This organization gets by on donations and now they need help from the government......DO IT NOW!!!!

Once again, the Gov shows a callous disregard for people in need.

My son has Tourettes. It is a debilitating and heartbreaking condition. Please reinstate funding for the condition.

We are still in desperate need for Tourette's education for helping people understand my condition. I am a 37 year old woman who had to quit her job, because of peoples ignorance and fear off my Tourette's. Please do not cut the funding to this crucial program!!!
