A moment of your time...

This is about a petition -- one that may have no chance of achieving its objective, but someone started it up. I signed it, and I'm going to write to them to see if I can break the letter up into more manageable pieces ( Read more... )

Not everyone is so fortunate.... alfreda89 November 12 2006, 17:57:55 UTC

I'm glad you see the effect this issue will have on all tax-payers, not just those suffering from the disease. I had posted a short bit about it in very basic terms a while back in this lj post.

I decided that this had to be included every time I could remember to do so. If you can't appeal to people on compassion issues, you may be able to reach them through their pocketbooks. Especially when writing people like the governor, etc. I also hit up the one state Rep in Texas who has had the disease and its complications, and the head of the Board of medical examiners (a pox upon him).

I keep a low profile on LJ because I don't want a future employer googling on my past problems. They are a private list -- friends and writers I know who might be curious about the progression of a disease. If you want to list an email on your profile, I'll try to remember to continue this later. Thanks for posting.
