Hi all: BlondieBlue--Okay! That's what I had in mind. Thanks for Posting these actions and thoughts. Macdoodle--right (as usual, to my mind, in your remarks)--we need more professionals acting for us. That doesn't mean the volunteers can't do some good, as Stephen pointed out, but we do need the professionals at the front to shoot some flaming arrows into the big forts of discrmination.
Stephen--your point is also strong; we would be an amazing force if we acted together. I have a neighbor down the street who uses forearm crutches, has had two knee replacements and one hip, several back fusions, can't work, but doesn't consider herself "disabled." That would be demeaning for her. We need to join together, and use our power.
Tim01--thank you for your work, and also, please keep sharing your activities as you have time. You are the professional macdoodle was calling for. Thanks again . . .
Edward Janus--hooray for you. Thanks for sharing your amazing story and current activities. Please keep in touch with this site, and let us know what you are up to. I am interested in what you are working on now. When you feel like it, please check back;
Mcjane--probably no hope, but maybe some loophole in the new Health Care Bill? Or from one of the National Charities, like National MD provides equipment. If we could act as a group, and get something like the American Legion or The Elks to take this on, we would really benefit. We could target one group, like The Elks, or someone. Anyway, I'm just saying, I bet your fertile little brain could come up with some ideas on this . . . (?).
Thanks for the ideas.
